Caribbean Jerk Seasoning Recipe

The Jerk seasoning quantity is a small amount of 2 Tablespoons. You can double that anytime to prepare more of the jerk seasoning. I find that 2 tablespoons is enough for a hot spicy chicken rub. Otherwise, I just prefer to prepare a new batch whenever I need it since the jerk spice blend has deeper flavors with a fresh batch of spices.
