To make jerk chicken strips, you need chicken strips, BBQ and seasonings. I typically make these in the oven, no fancy equipment! However, these are really good in the air fryer if you want something with a little more crisp to it. You can, I have many times, make it without the BBQ sauce for more of a classic seasoned chicken strip. Jamaican jerk chicken does not always have BBQ sauce on it however, I like the addition of a good BBQ with this. But, if you want to keep this more of a classic dish, use my seasonings blend on anything you want. Who wouldn't want some Jamaican jerk tenders. However, I am making this a little healthier and using lean chicken tenderloins. Typically, you can get Jamaican jerk chicken thighs or breasts, or sometimes you can find some chicken wings.
Jamaican jerk chicken is a classic dish on the island and available literally anywhere. It was an event! It has been a while but I still remember that trip clearly and I still remember the Jamaican jerk chicken. All my immediate family, my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents. Have you ever been to Jamaica? I went once, in I think 2012, with my entire family.
