Wed Oct 01 11:22:35 -0700 2008 4074490 11199 wleatherette 1 4113407 I tried this place last weekend and the jerk chicken was delicious! I came here to post about it and found wleaterette's post. It was the wonderful chicken smell that led me to this place, actually. I was walking down Rogers on my way to the Immaculee Bakery for some Patties when I saw the smoker and smelled the lovely aroma of jerk chicken, so of course I had to try some. I've gotten crappy chicken before at other places so I just went with the small order for $5. This chicken was far from crappy, I thought the spicing was really good and I could taste that the blend was home-made and thoughtful--there was definitely a lot of thyme in it and cloves, probably onion and a bunch of other herbs and spices as well. I liked that the actual flavor of the chicken was allowed to shine through, it tasted like the chicken was really fresh (?). I don't know how to tell freshness other than the intensity of chickeny goodness, but this chicken had that in abundance. The meat had a profound smokiness that wleatherette mentioned, it was perfectly cooked and not at all dry. The dark meat was falling off the bone it was so tender and the white meat retained it's moistness. Overall, I would give this chicken an A. I didn't think the peppa sauce was too sweet. I liked it. I hate when the peppa is so spicy it overpowers the chicken. I can't wait to try more stuff from this place. The menu included macaroni pie and other Jamaican dishes--also, breakfast! I will definitely try some crab and callaloo for breakfast soon. They also deliver!
