IKEA’s new jerk chicken with rice and peas has been slammed after the warehouse chain made the traditional Caribbean dish using the wrong ingredients.

The Swedish-based retailer recently added the jerk chicken to its U.K. menu, which includes its famous meatballs and hot dogs, and was met with immediate backlash after a photo of the dish was shared on Twitter.
