Try something different with chicken tonight. This Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken is spicy and flavorful.
Hello! How are you all? We went on vacation to California for 10 days. We went to San Francisco and to a Jelly Stone Park for a family reunion. It was one of the best vacations yet. We went to Alcatraz
We fit in so much during those 10 days that I haven’t left my house much for almost a week! I made this delicious chicken recipe when we got back home. Whenever I go on vacation, I enjoy all the dining out, then I can’t wait to get home and eat a homemade meal.
This chicken and sauce has heat and tanginess. It’s great over rice, with a side of black beans. I tried a pressure cooker for the first time with black beans, I think the beans took 50 minutes, and they were perfectly tender!

Slow Cooker Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Equipment Needed:
- Slow Cooker – 4 quart or larger
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup lime juice FROM FRESH LIMES- DO NOT USED BOTTLED
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 5 green onions minced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 habanero pepper seeds removed and diced
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. ground all-spice

- 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs, well trimmed of fat

Instructions:
- Add the everything to the slow cooker expect the chicken, stir until everything in the sauce is combined. Add the chicken, I liked to swish the chicken in the sauce so each piece is completely covered.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Serve the chicken and sauce over rice. Enjoy!
I have some bottled Jamaican jerk sauce, both Walkerswood and Grace, that I want to use up. Seems that it would be easy to just cook the chicken in one of those and call it a day?
Yes, you may want to season the chicken a little first.
It was ok but if the all spice has cinnamon in it why would you add more.
The lagar, is it an ingredient or is it for the cook?
Great recipe. I’m in the UK and I love Jerk Chicken and this recipe was perfect. I think I’m gonna cook it every week now. Lol
Hi. I am Jamaican and like all Jamaicans, I love my food loaded with flavour. Thanks for the compliment on a Jamaican favourite. However, I think you should change the recipe name to state that it is “Jamaican-inspired”, not Jamaican. There are many critical inputs to the recipe that are missing – especially the grill or what we Jamaicans call a jerk pan.
Well said…as a Jamaican also, I whole heartedly agree.
Perfect–and yet so easy. Thank you
Wonderful..
I make this at least 2 times a month .
This recipe was the worst. I followed instructions to the letter. I wasted good chicken
This was the worst recipe I have ever made it used a bottle of lime juice and it was all I could taste!! Absolute waste of a day waiting. I am not sure if your measurements are right when converting to metric but 121g of lime juice is a lot
Bottled lime or lemon juice shouldn’t be used in recipes. It tastes like chemicals.
I tried this recipe as is and I am very disappointed. The sauce was too tangy.
Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to try this recipe.
made this with chicken breasts over cauliflower rice and tasty
We don’t like thighs can I use breast
How did it turn out?
