Flavor-packed jerk chicken roasted to perfection! Spiced, glazed, and irresistibly juicy.

Easy Spatchcocked Roasted Jerk Chicken

Jerk Chicken is one of those things that is not only popular in the Caribbean and West Indies but in many parts of the world as well. I don’t cook it very often, but when I do, it’s always oh so delicious and my family enjoys it. This is actually my first time trying the spatchcocking or butterflying method to make my whole jerk chicken, and I love the way the chicken was cooked; it was sooo juicy and delightful. It also cooked faster and evenly. I literally ate it for 3 days straight. The jerk seasoning added such amazing flavors to this chicken. I already have a jerk chicken recipe posted on my blog, so I pretty much followed the same steps with a few tweaks. On day 1, I enjoyed this jerk chicken with some fried rice (I also have a recipe on here). On day 2, I made some jerk chicken tacos, and on day 3, I had jerk chicken with mac and cheese (if you’re subscribed to my website, you would have gotten an email with that recipe). All three options created such a delicious meal.
