There are several great Central American side dishes which pair well with this jerk chicken. Rice and beans, and curtido, or lightly fermented red cabbage with some carrot and scotch bonnet. Cornbread also goes great with the meal and try some grilled plantains sprinkled with cinnamon for desert. Protip: They are ripe when the peel is black."
