Really nice Jerk chicken. I didn’t have the thermometer to put inside my chicken but it turned out okay anyways. Love your blog, you should add videos too

This looks really nice. I’ve never had jerk chicken though, is it spicy, or hot, like chilli? And what side dish would you suggest to serve as a side dish? I was thinking some cheesy mashed potatoes but I’m not sure
