Jerk Seasoning

My daughter and son-in-law brought back seasonings and sauces from their trip to Jamaica.  I was ready to grill some chicken tenders this afternoon and use the grill sauce, but I knew I had to have a rub or seasoning to coat the chicken.

I went in search of a Jerk Seasoning recipe and Chili Pepper Madness came through big time!

I had everything needed waiting for me in my spice cabinet!

Here is the recipe:

1 T. onion powder

1 T. garlic powder

2 t. cayenne pepper

2 t. salt

2 t. ground black pepper

2 t. dried thyme (or use 1 t. ground thyme)

2 t. sugar (or use brown sugar) (I used Stevia)

1 t. ground allspice

1 t. dried parsley

1 t. paprika

1/2 t. hot pepper flakes

1/2 t. ground cinnamon

1/2 t. ground nutmeg

1/2 t. ground clove

1/4 t. ground cumin

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well blended.  Store in an airtight container.  Use as needed.
