Best Thing We Ate Last Night: Jerk Chicken Platter at Battery Harris

We're always going to love the jerk chicken at Park Slope's Kaz An Nou, but we're pleased for Williamsburg that recent arrival Battery Harris is offering legit Caribbean fare in the neighborhood. The jerk platter is a steal at $12, which includes two pieces of chicken, coconut cornbread, remoulade slaw and braised kale. The protein component is tender and flavorful, and the sides respectively offer a sweet, acidic and slightly bitter counterbalance to the smoky, spicy flavors of the jerk seasoning. And did we mention the attractive alfresco setting? Between the drinks, reasonable pricing and outdoor area, this is a prime spot for summer gatherings (718-384-8900).
