  Loved this and was amazed at how quick and easy it was. We used thighs instead of drumsticks. Will be making again.

  I thought this dish was very ordinary, even quite bland. Won't be doing this again!

  Not keen on this one. The skin on the drumsticks went soggy too - yuck.

  I made this last night and me and my husband really enjoyed it! I made it in the slow cooker, I took the skin off the legs and thighs before I put it in the sauce because I didn't fancy soggy skins. The chicken was so tender and tasty! I served it with my homemade egg fried rice, it was a marriage made in heaven. My hubby went back for seconds and was actually quite gutted when there were no thirds, even though he was full! lol. I added paprika and some chilli flakes. I will definately be making this again!

  Excellent but even better the next day when spices have infused. Try with chicken thighs skin off.

  Very tasty and easy. Needed to give it a little longer simmering to cook the drumsticks through (they were quite large). Will become a favourite I'm sure.

  Like the tagline says i was really surprised at how much flavour was in this dish! Though to those who found it bland i would recommend using a more 'authentic' Jerk seasoning to get the best flavour - I picked up a jar of Dunns jerk seasoning - it's just like homemade jerk & is a paste rather than a powder so even the smallest amount packs a serious punch! I only used a teaspoon to marinade the chicken and this was more than sufficient to flavour the whole dish (however i was only cooking for two so halved the overall recipe.) I agree about the soggy skins so will try this again with skinless pieces however I can see this becoming a firm favourite! Nice served with some plantain on the side also!

  Tried this it was excellent but we used chicken breast as we are not a fan of legs and actually we put a teaspoon to much jerk spice (didn't read it carefully enough) but all said it was very good

  I thought the measurement of jerk spice was just right and it had a nice kick without necessitating constant drinking!

  I used diced chicken and jerk marinade. If you like spice, marinade is better than using seasoning , it was amazing.
