Are you hungry for fried chicken tonight? This Jamaican Fried Chicken is like everything in Jamaica, Hot ‘n Spicy. If you like your food with an extra kick this Jamaican recipe is for you. The pimento in the Caribbean seasoning gives a strong, flavorful, aromatic taste to the chicken but it’s the scotch bonnet pepper that brings the heat.

Scotch bonnet, also known as Bonney peppers, or Caribbean red peppers, is a variety of chili pepper named for its resemblance to a tam o’ shanter hat. It is ubiquitous in West Africa. Most Scotch bonnets have a heat rating of 100,000–350,000 Scoville units (Very Hot).

If you want to cut out the grease try cooking this Hot ‘n Spicy Jamaican Fried Chicken in your air fryer or even baking it in your oven.
