Tips:
- To achieve a tender and juicy chicken, marinate it for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken and makes it more flavorful.
- If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can still make this recipe. Just skip the marinating step and cook the chicken according to the recipe instructions. The chicken will still be delicious, but it may not be as flavorful.
- Be sure to use a good quality jerk seasoning. This is what will give the chicken its signature flavor. You can find jerk seasoning at most grocery stores or online.
- If you like spicy food, you can add more scotch bonnet peppers to the jerk seasoning. Just be sure to taste the seasoning before you add it to the chicken, so you don't make it too spicy.
- Serve the jerk chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice and peas, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Caribbean jerk chicken with fresh fruit salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a slightly spicy and smoky flavor. The fresh fruit salsa adds a refreshing sweetness and acidity that balances out the spiciness of the chicken.
