  • Welcome to Open Fire, where we explore the various ways different cultures cook over live fire, as our host Cara Nicoletti, a fourth-generation butcher, learns the craft, practice, and philosophy of each dish.
    In this episode, Cara meets with chef Junior Felix from Glady’s in Brooklyn to learn how to cook his famous jerk chicken. This chicken is marinated for 24 hours before it’s grilled over oak and pimento wood and finished off in a smoker, resulting in a dish that’s truly the flavor of fire.

    Describing food as “sexy” is so legit. Sometimes you have something that is so good you just gotta bust one.

    God mode! Actively creating the smoke flavor. I've been trying to master this for awhile. Watching thai street vendors grill meats etc... they all fan their grills.. I think that action plays a large part in moving smoke onto the meats.

    I was waiting for the Ainsley “spicy” meme. You can’t have jerk chicken without smiling seductively, flicking your tongue and say “spicy”

      And you also have to make sure to give that meat a good ol' rubb.
