"A chef who brought his family’s Jamaican recipe to a Washington, D.C. restaurant emphasizes the central role of a deeply flavored marinade and smoky cooking in proper jerk chicken; the dish typically features spicy drumsticks seasoned with hot peppers, soy, garlic and Chinese five-spice and is often cooked on a steel oil-drum grill to achieve a signature charcoal smokiness that street vendors and cooks perfect over generations." - Jessica van Dop DeJesus
