Its hours and hours and hours to put together the sauce, to season the chicken, Tara Carson, festival worker, said. They get prepared at least 48 hours in advance. <\/p>\n
The festival has seen thousands of visitors and was held from June 21 to 25. <\/p>\n
Beyond the jerk chicken, corn and fish were other Caribbean treats like spicy peanut butter. <\/p>\n
