🔥 Jerk chicken, done right
Sauce 23 was born from a simple idea — make the perfect sauce for jerk chicken, and obsess over it until it's right. No sprawling range, no compromises. Just one bottle that carries the warmth of the Caribbean into kitchens and gardens across the UK.
It's a balance of sweet heat and tang — fruity warmth up front, a gentle chilli kick behind it, and a bright, tangy finish that makes chicken sing. Brush it on, soak in it, or drizzle it over the top.
From the marinade tray to the table, Sauce 23 earns its place at every step.
Coat raw chicken and rest it for 2+ hours. The tang tenderises while the spice soaks deep.
Brush it on over the coals for a sticky, caramelised jerk glaze that smells like summer.
Finish wraps, rice & peas, burgers, halloumi or chips with a bold tropical drizzle.
Pour it neat into a dish for wings, fritters, dumplings and everything that loves a dunk.
Sauce 23 isn't about blowing your head off — it's about balance. Fruity sweetness leads, a measured chilli warmth follows, and a citrus-bright tang ties it all together. Approachable enough for the whole table, bold enough to be unforgettable.
Pour Sauce 23 generously over chicken thighs, drumsticks or breast in a bowl or bag.
Massage it in and rest, covered, for 2 hours or overnight for the deepest flavour.
Grill, BBQ, oven-roast or pan-fry, basting with a little extra sauce as it cooks.
Finish with one more drizzle and serve with rice & peas, slaw or a fresh flatbread.
One 500ml bottle of Sauce 23 — your jerk marinade, grill glaze, drizzle and dip, all in one. Stock the kitchen and never look at the spice rack the same way again.
"Marinated chicken thighs overnight and grilled them at the weekend — easily the best jerk I've made at home. Sweet, tangy, just the right kick."
"One bottle does everything. Marinade in the week, drizzle on my wraps, dip for the kids' chicken. It hasn't left the fridge door since."
"Took it to a summer BBQ and everyone asked where I got it. That sweet-heat-and-tang balance is spot on. Already on my second bottle."
