Other great places to enjoy local food include the myriad of jerk chicken stands that are dotted around the island. At about 5pm sniff the air for that unmistakable heady aroma of jerk and head for the nearest stand to enjoy chicken cooked as it should – out in the open over fire, complete with hot (or very hot!) sauce. Delicious!
