Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Combine the mango nectar, lime juice, honey, soy sauce and 1 teaspoon jerk paste in a large bowl. Add the chicken; rub to coat.
- Remove the chicken to a plate; brush with olive oil. Transfer the sauce mixture to a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; simmer until slightly thickened, 7 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.
- Meanwhile, transfer the chicken skin-side up to the grill, cover and cook until browned, about 15 minutes. Flip and grill until the skin is browned and crisp and the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Combine the olive oil and remaining 2 teaspoons jerk paste in a small bowl. Brush the eggplants with the jerk oil and season with salt. Grill until marked and tender, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl and add the mango, scallions and basil; season with salt and pepper. Pour the warm sauce over the chicken and serve with the eggplant-mango salad and lime wedges.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a heavy-duty Ziploc bag or glass pan.
- Add your choice of pork, beef, chicken or fish.
- Marinate for at least two hours.
- Prepare in your preferred method of cooking.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
- Make sure your spices are fresh: The fresher your spices, the more flavorful your chicken will be. If you're not sure how old your spices are, it's best to buy new ones.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling chicken, it's important to give each piece enough space so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the grill, the chicken will steam instead of grill and won't have as much flavor.
- Cook the chicken to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked to the proper internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
Conclusion:
Grilled Spiced Chicken with Caribbean Citrus Mango Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, then grilled to perfection. The Caribbean Citrus Mango Sauce is the perfect complement to the chicken, adding a bright and tangy flavor.
