Island Grilled Jerk Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first seven ingredients. Remove skin from chicken; if desired, use a sharp knife to cut through the leg quarter joints. Add chicken to marinade; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours., Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Place chicken on greased grill rack; cook, covered, over medium heat 35-45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°-175°, turning occasionally.

Steps:

• Wash the chicken and pat it dry. Cut each breast in half lengthwise, then each half into two strips (can do more if the breast is really thick/wide, looking for about a 1/2 inch strip or even a little less).
• Place the strips in a storage bag.
• Combine the soy sauce and next eight ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth.
• It's going to be an icky green color, don't fear as I initially did!
• Pour mixture into the bag over the chicken, seal and marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours; squish around a few times over the marinating period.
• Preheat grill to medium high heat.
• Thread chicken strips on skewers, place on grill over direct heat, close lid.
• Grill on each side until done (approx. 5 minutes per side).
