Food Chain / Food & Drink Jerked: Heron Valley Jerk Chicken

- Heron Valley's whole jerk chicken
Jerk shacks come and go on the south side, but Heron Valley's been infusing allspice and chile-rubbed chicken, catfish, and shrimp with a righteous smoke for about four years on a stretch of 103rd Street temptingly close to Old Fashioned Donuts. Inside, a bulletproof barrier protects a chuffing barrel smoker that produces a tender, juicy bird, hacked and heaped in clamshell with a couple slices of dense hard-dough bread to mop the tangy jerk sauce—for a mere $10.

Food Chain / Food & Drink This week's food and drink events
Posted by Daniel Gerzina on Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 12:48 PM
Yes, it’s Groundhog Day, and Jerry's Wicker Park is celebrating by offering wild boar sloppy joes with fig vinegar barbecue sauce and screening Bill Murray’s classic Groundhog Day all day and night. The sandwich will stay on the menu for the following week, but Groundhog Day apparently ends for the movie. 10 AM-2 AM, Jerry’s Wicker Park, 1938 W. Division, 773-235-1006, free.
More events after the jump.
