 Crock Pot Jamaican Jerk Chicken

Happy Friday everyone! Finally the weekend is here. Today’s crock pot recipe is a little exotic. I decided to get a little wild this weekend. As I was making and photographing this Crock Pot Jamaican Jerk Chicken I swear I was channeling Bob Marley. Even now as I am writing this the words to Jammin are playing in my head!

This weeks crock pot chicken recipe includes a bonus recipe! I also made a very easy Coconut Rice recipe to go along with the Jamaican Jerk Chicken.

If you love the sweet and spicy flavor of Caribbean food then this Crock Pot Jamaican Jerk Chicken recipe is for you. Traditionally Jerk Chicken is cooked over an open flame.

Obviously a crock pot recipe is not going to replicate the exact authentic open fire pit flavor. But who wants to stand over a hot grill and cook when you can pick up a bottle of Jerk rub and a bottle of Jerk marinade and let the crock pot do the cooking for you?
