Canned or dry black beans? That’s up to you. If using canned, drain and rinse them first (same goes for the corn). If you’re using dry black beans, be sure to soak them overnight first. You can even soak them in the slow cooker just be sure to drain the water out before you add in the other ingredients. Most jerk chicken recipes include some sort of sugar, usually brown sugar. I almost never use sugar in my cooking. I used honey instead. You won’t miss the sugar, trust me.
