Grilled jerk chicken with sorrel glaze on a wooden cutting board

In the heart of Brooklyn, where Caribbean cuisine meets New York flair, Sorrel City is redefining the boundaries of traditional Jamaican dishes. On a crisp December 26th, the day after Christmas, many Jamaicans celebrate with a massive outdoor party, and jerk chicken is often the star of the show. At Sorrel City, we are putting our own spin on this classic with a sorrel glaze that complements the bold flavors of jerk seasoning.

A Harmonious Balance of Flavors

Our sorrel glaze is made with the same hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel that Sorrel City is known for, mixed with a hint of ginger and a touch of sugar. This sweet and tangy glaze pairs perfectly with the smoky heat of jerk chicken, creating a dish that is both familiar and innovative. To make it, we combine 2 parts sorrel with 1 part honey and 1/2 part soy sauce, then brush it over the chicken during the last 10 minutes of grilling.
