How to Make Dry Jerk Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  2. Generously coat your chosen poultry or pork with the jerk rub, ensuring the mixture is rubbed into the meat.
  3. Allow the meat to marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. For deeper flavor, marinate overnight.
  4. The longer the meat marinates, the more intense the jerk flavor will become.
  5. Cook your meat using your preferred method (grilling, baking, smoking) until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for poultry and 145°F (63°C) for pork.
