Do you like to cook with chicken breast or dark meat?

Very true to authentic Jerk marinades - not to be mistaken with rubs... same but not the same, look it up.  

trying to bite my tongue but... this is a real recipe. If you’re on a Keto diet or some other kind of diet DONT come out here critiquing based on what you can or can’t eat. Find your own way to substitute ingredients based on what you like or can and cannot have. Don’t position it as everyone else’s problem to solve...  FFS!

I enjoyed this recipe. I realize it's not a completely authentic Jerk recipe but it was still tasty. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and replaced the brown sugar for brown Swerve, and marinated it for several hours. I also used avocado oil for the grill, as this is my go to for most high heat cooking. I served it on a bed of fresh salad greens with a drizzle of lime olive oil and pineapple balsamic vinegar. Thank you for a wonderful and easy recipe.

Awesome find.  The ingredients are the best.  You are right when you say:  if it doesn’t fit what you can or cannot eat, don’t critique, adjust to what works for you.  Recipe is great, thank you got posting.

I liked this well enough, but my husband -- who grilled it -- wasn't so keen on it. For some odd reason, the meat closest to the bone turned a brilliant red. Don't know what that was all about as I'm pretty sure it was well defrosted when he put the thighs on the BBQ, but maybe not.

I started marinating last night and grilled chicken drumsticks today. I prefer thighs but Kroger was sold out at 0900 in the morning. I did use habanero peppers and the recipe was awesome.

Thank you for posting this recipe!!!  Delicious.

I love this recipe. I like extra of the jerk sauce and my family likes it a bit sweeter so I add a bit more brown sugar. I triple up on the garlic and lime too.

Don't call it authentic if your using a jalapeno... It's supposed to be a scotch bonnet

Just made this last night for a large family gathering.  I used jalapenos but left out the seeds.  Next time I will leave in the seeds, I was surprised I didn't feel any heat.  Regardless, the chicken was a huge hit and I've just found a new and easy favorite recipe.

Made it with a scorpion peppers which is much hotter than scotch bonnet also made homemade allspice (nutmeg cloves cinnimon) everyone loved it
