Istruzioni

For the jerk marinade, add all of the marinade ingredients to a food processor or blender and process until smooth.

Poke Chicken

Next, poke some holes in your chicken with a knife to let the marinade permeate more deeply.

Marinate Chicken

Set the chicken into a large bowl or into a sealable baggie. Pour the marinade over the chicken and rub it down. You can to completely cover the chicken with the marinade.

Refrigerate

Cover and refrigerate. Marinate the chicken at least 2 hours, though you'll get more flavor penetration if you plan ahead and refrigerate overnight. Discard marinade.

Grill

TO GRILL THE CHICKEN. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken for 12-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. It should measure 165 degrees F internally.
