Sorrel Glazed Jerk Chicken in the Bronx

2026-10-23 · 2 min read

Plate of sorrel-glazed jerk chicken with fresh hibiscus flowers and jerk seasoning

On a warm summer evening in the Bronx, the smell of jerk chicken wafts through the air, enticing everyone with its spicy aroma. At Sorrel City, we love experimenting with traditional Jamaican recipes and giving them a New York twist. Our latest creation is a sorrel-glazed jerk chicken that combines the bold flavors of jerk seasoning with the sweet and tangy taste of our hand-bottled sorrel drink.

The Inspiration

According to some people, sorrel drink is often associated with warm seasonal rituals and hydration, a heritage that researchers have studied in the context of Caribbean culinary traditions. We drew inspiration from this tradition and decided to use our sorrel drink as a glaze for our jerk chicken. The result is a dish that is both familiar and innovative, with the sorrel adding a depth of flavor that complements the jerk seasoning perfectly.

The Recipe

To make our sorrel-glazed jerk chicken, we start by marinating chicken breasts in a mixture of jerk seasoning, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Then, we grill the chicken until it is cooked through and brush it with a glaze made from our sorrel drink, honey, and a hint of ginger. The sorrel glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the chicken, balancing out the spiciness of the jerk seasoning.
