My inspiration for this recipe is a jerk type of marinade...i did it in the oven but it could easily be done on the grill also.

This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's quick and easy to make, and the chicken is always delicious. I usually serve it with rice and beans, but it would also be good with roasted vegetables or a salad.

I'm not a big fan of dark meat, but I made this recipe with chicken thighs and they were surprisingly good. The jerk seasoning really tenderized the chicken and made it very flavorful.

These chicken legs were a great way to use up some leftover chicken I had. I made a few substitutions (used brown sugar instead of white sugar and added a bit of allspice), but the chicken still turned out delicious.

I made this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they turned out great. The jerk seasoning was still very flavorful, even without the skin on the chicken.
