How to Use Jerk Seasoning

Jerk Chicken (Classic Method):

1. Score chicken pieces deeply
2. Rub 2–3 tablespoons of Walkerswood jerk paste all over
3. Marinate overnight in the fridge
4. Grill over medium heat, turning regularly, until charred and cooked through
5. Serve with festival, rice and peas, or coleslaw

Pro tip: Add a teaspoon of browning sauce to deepen the colour and flavour.

Wet Jerk Paste (Walkerswood / Little Brixton)

1. Score your meat — chicken thighs, lamb chops, pork ribs, or fish fillets work best
2. Coat generously — rub the paste all over, including under the skin for chicken
3. Marinate — minimum 2 hours, ideally overnight (24–48 hours for maximum flavour)
4. Cook — grill on the BBQ over medium-high heat, or roast at 200°C for 35–45 mins

Dry Rub (Cockpit Country)

1. Pat meat dry with paper towel
2. Coat evenly with dry rub — press it in firmly
3. Rest for 30 mins (or overnight in the fridge)
4. BBQ, oven-roast, or air fryer at 200°C

Best Australian Cuts for Jerk

Chicken — thighs and drumsticks (skin-on) — the classic
Pork — ribs, pork belly, shoulder
Lamb — chops or leg (surprisingly great)
Fish — barramundi, snapper, salmon
Veg — pumpkin, sweet potato, corn on the cob

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between wet and dry jerk seasoning?

Wet jerk (paste/marinade) like Walkerswood contains vinegar and oil — ideal for marinating meat for 24+ hours. Dry jerk rubs like the Cockpit Country Hot Dry Rub are rubbed directly on before grilling for a crusty bark.

Is Walkerswood jerk seasoning gluten-free?

Yes, Walkerswood Traditional Jamaican Jerk Seasoning is gluten-free and vegan-friendly.

How spicy is jerk seasoning?

It varies by product. Walkerswood Traditional is a medium heat ( 2 ), while Walkerswood Hot & Spicy and Little Brixton Hot are significantly hotter (4). If you’re heat-sensitive, start with the Traditional or Mild versions.

Is jerk seasoning too salty?
Jerk seasoning does contain salt, so reduce or eliminate added salt in your recipe. The paste also doubles as your marinade — no extra seasoning needed.

How long does jerk seasoning last after opening?
Refrigerate after opening. Walkerswood (wet paste) lasts 3–6 months refrigerated. Dry rubs last 12+ months in a sealed container away from heat.

Can I use jerk paste as a dry rub?
Wet paste is designed for marinating. For a dry-rub style finish, use the Cockpit Country dry rub products — they’re specifically made for coating before grilling.

Can I buy bulk jerk seasoning for catering in Australia?
Yes — Caribbean Sydney stocks the Walkerswood 4.2kg catering tub, ideal for restaurants, food trucks, and caterers. It’s the same authentic recipe as the retail jar.
