I had fun reading your story. At first, I thought it was sun-dried chicken in hot spices, after all, it was like that, initially. A traditional recipe for Jerk chicken in Jamaica, back when runaway slaves were afraid to build fires that could give away their location. The chicken was cured in salt and spices, in hot pepper without fire and smoke. I figured you found this recipe in Japan and I was worried about your kids, it's a bit of a dangerous recipe because they didn't use sodium salt back then. Basically, I think it was chicken ham lol. Yes, I looked closely, but, apart from green plants in pots, I did not see what would look like the flag of Jamaica) ... just kidding, the flag is on the second floor, some boxes were covered with it)

You do a lot of research on the culture. Not too many people know about this. It was briefly mentioned in schools. I don’t think I want to try it though, but glad it gave birth to the jerk we know today.

Hahaha, you can tell how actually reads the posts. There is actually one more flag hehehe 😜

Lol, I didn't dare call a salad drenched in yellow sauce on a black plate the flag of Jamaica, but you can tell the restaurateur held his tone, lol.
As for the original recipe, I don't think that Jerky's chicken tasted bad, if it was cured in small pieces without the bone, to avoid botulinum infection, the bone rots first and it is difficult to salt the marrow. I think that the taste was similar to the taste of dry-cured sausage, or dry-cured pork ham. There is another variation that I cook, this is chicken meat salted in spices, I boil it at a low temperature, and then, smoked in smoke on alder or beech sawdust, it turns out a flavor bomb)
These are boneless smoked chicken thighs.

In the video, I cook such a chicken, if you want to cook something like this and have questions, you know how to find me)
