For me a good jerk seasoning should be more flavorful than it is spicy, that’s not to say this rub doesn’t pack some heat. This seasoning does provide a solid base for you to add in more heat if you desire. I like to us this seasoning mixture as both a rub and as a seasoning to mix into burgers or add to anything that just needs a little flare. This seasoning works amazing as a rub or dry marinade. For it to be a dry marinade allow your protein to rest for at least 30 minutes the flavors with penetrate into the meat.

This is one of my favorite rubs for Beer Can Jerk Chicken.
