Walkerswood Jerk Marinade,Glass 17 Ounce

I really like this marinade. My Jamaican parents use the walkerswood jerk rub as a starting point for their jerk marinade at home. I was actually looking for that product on amazon and found this marinade instead. And I decided to give it a try. As a student, I do not have the time to make an authentic Jamaican Jerk Sauce on my own (nor do I really have the know-how) but this marinade tasted really good. I am often very disappointed by pre-prepared jerk sauces. They are either too sweet or too spicy but this was perfect as a quick and easy alternative to the what I have at home. I baked my jerk chicken and used the leftover fluids in the dish as gravy for my rice and peas. It was perfect and filling! While I'll always prefer my parents' jerk sauce, I'll continue to use this sauce when I can't get home to my parents' house for dinner.

This stuff is fantastic! I have bought the jerk rub in mild and hit before but this is the ine. Works great on chicken or pork the best. Don't marinate too long just 2-3 hours. I marinate 2 lbs chicken wings with maybe 1/4 cup, then grill, or use the mild rub overnight and use this as the sauce.. you have to cut in half with olive oil or its really hot. Good stuff!

I had ordered some jerk chicken from the Jamaican restaurant and was craving it home. I've done my research on different store bought marinades and it was recommended that walkerswood was a good brand to buy. I had also purchased another popular brand. Walkerswood surpassed the other brand! Walkerswood tasted so authentic and was soo spicy! This will be my to go to marinade when wanting to make jerk chicken at home!

It is made with scotch bonnet pepper which are spicy not just hot; flavorful along with the spicy aspect. The flavor is amazing. This is the best Jerk sauce we have had other than home made. I thought I was saving money by purchasing the larger bottles however, the sauce has added water making it a soupy sauce rather than the thick sauce I had previously. That is the ONLY reason it is a 4 and not a 5. The thicker sauce coats much better with no run off. Taste is there though.

I wanted to make real jerk chicken at home so I used it to marinade chicken. I read the instructions on the bottle that warned to apply sparingly; which I did. I used about 1/3 of the bottle for 24 pieces of chicken legs and thighs. I let it marinade overnight and cooked it in my wood-fired smoker. Although the chicken was flavorful it was not spicy or hot as indicated on the bottle. I was very disappointed because I wanted that heat and spice that real jerk chicken provides. So on my second attempt I used the remaining 2/3 of the bottle for about 30 chicken wings. This time I let it marinade for 48 hours before cooking them in my wood-fired smoker. The chicken wings were very flavor but sadly lacked that heat level I was trying to achieve.

The local grocer chain discontinued Walkerwoods (I was always they carried it in the first place). Low and behold its available on Amazon! I ordered it for an impending cook out. I like to say this is the best, only second to the original Walkerswood jerk spice. This marinade is meant to be more potent than the traditional seasoning to speed up the process. This being said The finished product is island flavorful and not overpowering. It is spicy, its a smoldering heat meaning though its potent it is not overpowering. You still get the savory notes. If you are not initiated with spicy foods you may want to try the milder version. Sodium concerns maybe in an issue, but if you are mainly concerned with taste, grab a bottle marinade it, light up wood coals grill and enjoy!

Everyone loved the taste of my smoked wings marinated in this sauce. At first I wasn't sure how they'd turnout since I thought the marinade was sorta watery. But man, the wings tasted great! Definitely will order again.

In my humble opinion this is the very best marinade for jerking your meats, shrimps and some fish. I love to use it with chicken, then grilling for a real island treat. Watch it if you are unacustomed to spicy food, this has a lot of bite, it does not lose its flavor while or after cooking with. I recommend this for those of you who want a walk on the island side with some spark to your food.
