On a warm summer evening in Brooklyn, the smell of jerk chicken wafts through the air, enticing everyone with its aromatic spices. Sorrel City's sorrel drink, with its deep red color and slightly sweet flavor, is a perfect match for this traditional Jamaican dish. By reducing the sorrel drink to a glaze and brushing it over jerk chicken, the flavors of the Caribbean come alive in a new and exciting way.

A New York Twist on a Classic

In the kitchens of Manhattan and the Bronx, chefs are experimenting with new ways to incorporate sorrel into their recipes. Sorrel City's hand-bottled sorrel drink is a staple in many of these kitchens, where it is used to add a unique flavor profile to a variety of dishes. The sorrel glaze, made by reducing the sorrel drink and mixing it with a hint of ginger and a touch of sugar, adds a depth and warmth to the jerk chicken that is hard to resist.

According to some people, the antioxidants and vitamin C in hibiscus, the main ingredient in sorrel drink, make it a great addition to a healthy meal. Some people find that hibiscus is naturally a source of vitamins and minerals, making it a popular choice for those looking for a refreshing drink. To try this sorrel-glazed jerk chicken for yourself, start an order from Sorrel City and get a gallon of sorrel drink delivered right to your door in Mt Vernon, Queens, or Connecticut.

A Recipe for the Ages

The combination of the sorrel glaze and the spicy jerk seasoning is a match made in heaven. The slightly sweet and tangy flavor of the sorrel pairs perfectly with the bold and aromatic spices of the jerk seasoning. To make this dish at home, simply marinate the chicken in a mixture of jerk seasoning, soy sauce, and a hint of sorrel drink, then grill or bake until cooked through. Brush the sorrel glaze over the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking, and serve hot.
