Preparation for Jerk Chicken Recipe

1. Trim excess fat from chicken. In a large bowl, combine all the dried ingredients and wet ingredients together.2. Add the chicken breasts, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, longer if possible.

Grilling Method- Preheat an outdoor grill. In Jamaica we grill our chicken outside using pimento wood.

3. Remove the chicken quarters from the marinade and grill for 6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked or juices run clear.

While grilling, paste with the marinade in the bowl. Bring the leftover marinade to a boil adding some ketchup and a dash of soy sauce and serve on the side as dipping sauce.

Cut chicken into pieces. Best served with festivals or rolls accompanied with a glass of special juice.
