Jerk Chicken - Fast, Easy and Delicious image

We love spicy foods and tender juicy chicken. This recipe is great combination of both. If you have children, simply omit the Jerk Sauce from their portion. Keep in mind that you can make this recipe as spicy or as mild as you wish by simply adjusting the marination time or adding dry Jerk Seasoning to the marinade to kick it up. I love to serve my Garlic Fry recipe with this dish and a nice salad. Note that this recipe works great for boneless, skinless chicken breast and I have also used it on pork cuts. Prep time does not include overnight marination.

The jerk sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly.

Jerk chicken is one of my favorite dishes, and this recipe did not disappoint. The chicken was tender and moist, and the sauce was flavorful and spicy.

This dish was delicious, but it was a bit too spicy for me. Next time, I'll use less scotch bonnet pepper.
