Jerk Chicken

...zeal fuels the preparation of jerk chicken, a multiday affair that involves brining the bird, and then marinating it in jerk paste, smoking it, frying it, and finally grilling it (well, and basting it while it grills). This rendition isn’t about heat so much as it is about the campfire fragrance and the contrast between the smirched, crinkly skin and the plump, deeply seasoned meat. Beer-braised cabbage on the side provides the same astringent disruption that coleslaw does for fried chicken.
