Ingredients Needed to Make the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Burger

- ½ tsp. black pepper
Directions:
-
- Whisk together the jerk seasoning, garlic, soy sauce, and vegetable oil together.
- Pour the marinade max into a large, shallow dish, add the chicken and turn to coat.

- Remove from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Start building your Jamaican Jerk Chicken Sandwich.
Toppings:
Toppings are critical on this burger. Because you are getting the smoky hot pepper heat from the jerk sauce, your burger will be next level if you have the right topping to include on the burger. Here are some of our recommendations:
- Pineapple – slice up a pineapple and get that on there. Some extra tropical flavor, and the pineapple really balances it out. Extra points if you grill these up as you’ll get a little bit of caramelization!
- Coleslaw – a traditional slaw is also a good option.
- Cheese – a PepperJack or a Sharp Cheddar are good options. A sharp cheese is definitely necessary to hold its own against the jerk seasoning.
- Garlic Mayonnaise Spread or MayoKetchup will work well (Get the MayoKetchup recipe)
- Vegetables and Greens – some nice lettuce or spinach is a good option. Also, avocado, onion and tomato will work well.
- Roasted Bell Peppers- a yellow or red bell pepper is a good addition.
