Tribal People Try Jamaican Jerk Chicken
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's chicken. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is chicken?
Chicken cooked in every tradition: roast chicken, rotisserie, chicken tikka, wings, nuggets, chicken parmesan, Nashville hot chicken. Chicken is the meat the tribe eat most, so the interest is in the method.
What to watch for
A whole roast chicken with just salt, pepper and herbs is the interesting case: familiar meat, unfamiliar restraint. It is usually judged good but under-spiced. Anything marinated and grilled is approved at once.
The comparison they always make
Desi chicken — small, tough, deeply flavoured village birds — in a karahi or a curry is the standard. Soft, fat supermarket chicken is a texture difference the tribe notice before anything else.
