Most people think it means heat. It doesn't — it means allspice, thyme, ginger and smoke, with the chilli sitting somewhere behind all of it going about its business quietly. Done properly, jerk chicken is one of the great things you can cook over coals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig Jerk Energy is the shortcut to doing it properly. Two Jamaican-Melbourne sauces, a Caribbean mustard with a habanero secret, a Louisiana Cajun seasoning for the sides, and an authentic jerk rub for the dry work. Five full-size products, no sachets, and a solid saving on buying the lot separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/little-brixton-jerk-marinade-jamaican-jerk-marinade\"\u003eLittle Brixton Jerk Marinade\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e — the foundation. Real thyme, lime, ginger, spring onion and habanero in a thick, made-from-scratch marinade.

The habanero appears in three of the five, but always as a slow finish rather than an opening statement. The Sweet Mustard is the spiciest thing in the box; the Cajun Stinger is the most savoury.

Real jerk is about allspice and thyme, not fire — the habanero in three of the products sits on the finish rather than the front. The Sweet Mustard is the spiciest thing in the box and it's still a medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it cheaper than buying the five separately?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, and by the widest margin of any box we do.

Most of it cooks off when heated, but if you're gifting to someone who avoids alcohol entirely, that's worth knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the marinade and the jerk rub?\u003c\/strong\u003e The marinade is wet and goes on hours ahead — that's the traditional method and it gets flavour deep into the meat. The rub is dry and goes on minutes ahead when you haven't planned that far. Both give you jerk; the marinade gives you more of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these full-size products?\u003c\/strong\u003e All five are full retail size, including a 340g Cajun Stinger shaker.
