Slow-cooked jerk chicken menu

Celebrate the last days of summer with a simple feast, starring a messy sandwich, fresh corn and a triple-scoop of your favourite ice cream. Bonus: The slow cooker does the heavy lifting while the grill works on the appetizers, allowing you to spend some extra time outside with a batch of icy lager and limes.
Cocktail
Lager and lime slush
Chilled perfection. It's also an easy make-ahead, so when it's time for a five o'clocktail, all you need to do is give it a quick run through the blender.
Starter
Charred cherry tomato bruschetta and peach bruschetta
Grilled baguette paired with juicy, in-season fruit is the perfect way to get the meal started as you can crisp up the chicken and cook the corn on the grill.
Mains
Gourmet grilled corn and jerk chicken with mango slaw
Golden cobs of corn slathered with herbed butter and sloppy grilled chicken sandwiches make dinner a rustic, casual event that's packed with gourmet flavour.
Dessert
Ice cream
A triple scoop waffle cone is about as summery as it gets. Try our three-ingredient ice creams for a fun mix n' match ice cream bar after dinner. From cookie dough to toasted marshmallow — and cherry chip! — we have 31 flavours to choose from.
