Jerk Chicken is one of 36 meat-based meals introduced in Disney Dreamlight Valley: A Rift in Time. This handy guide will outline how to make Jerk Chicken and where to source its ingredients in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Collecting the Required Ingredients

For a delicious and energetic meal like Jerk Chicken, players will have to do a lot of legwork and even complete some quests. As mentioned above, you won’t be able to cook Jerk Chicken right away because its main ingredient, poultry, requires some time and effort to obtain. First, you need to befriend Gaston, and that can’t happen without unlocking Glittering Dunes and unlocking him. Then, you’ll need to reach friendship level two with him and complete his second quest, Center of Attention. Only after successfully finishing this quest will players gain access to Gaston's Meat Stall. Now spend 500 Star Coins and purchase poultry from him.

Onions are available only after players spend a fortune to first unlock the Forest of Valor biome and then Goofy's Stall in the area. But that’s not it; you may also have to upgrade his stall to get it. Once it’s available, purchase a pouch of onion seeds at the cost of 50 Star Coins and grow the seeds anywhere in the valley.

Garlic does not need to be planted and harvested. While you’re in the Forest of Valor, look for the wild leafy herbs on the ground. It would be a great idea to collect extra garlic and store it in the inventory for future use. Just like garlic, forage any spice from the ground. You have the freedom to choose any spice, whether it's Mint from Frosted Heights or Basil from Peaceful Meadow.

After collecting these ingredients, you should go to a cooking station and make Jerk Chicken. This entree meal can be sold for 1,100 Star Coins or eaten to restore 1,229 energy.
