Sorrel Glazed Jerk Chicken

2026-07-20 · 2 min read

On a warm summer evening in Brooklyn, the smell of jerk seasoning and sorrel wafts through the air, transporting you to the streets of Jamaica. At Sorrel City, we are passionate about sharing the flavors of Jamaica with our community, and our sorrel-glazed jerk chicken recipe is a perfect example of this fusion.

A NY Twist on a Classic

Traditional jerk chicken is a staple of Jamaican cuisine, but we have added our own twist by incorporating our hand-bottled sorrel into the glaze. The sweetness of the sorrel pairs perfectly with the spicy kick of the jerk seasoning, creating a flavor profile that is both familiar and innovative. According to some people, the vitamin C and antioxidants found in sorrel make it a great addition to a summer meal, perfect for hot days in Queens or the Bronx.

To make our sorrel-glazed jerk chicken, simply marinate chicken breasts in a mixture of jerk seasoning, sorrel, and a hint of brown sugar, then grill or bake until cooked through. The result is a dish that is both spicy and sweet, with a depth of flavor that is sure to impress. Researchers have studied the cultural significance of sorrel in Caribbean cuisine, and it is often associated with warm seasonal rituals and gatherings.
