St. Bess Jerk

Jamaican restaurant · Burbank

@eater

"Jerk chicken shops are prevalent on the South Side but this relative newcomer over in suburban Burbank is making a strong case for being the best. The X factor is an addictive jerk sauce, which takes the chicken to another level. It’s made from fiery peppers, onions, celery, garlic, ginger, and a blend of spices and also serves as an overnight marinade for the dish. When the birds are ready to go, they’re roasted in a barrel smoker over coals in order to impart a smoky flavor. During the day, diners can order white or dark meat plus two sides for $10. A second outpost of St Bess Jerk is located in Norwood Park. Online ordering is available here." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
