Jerk Chicken

Jerk chicken originally comes from Jamaica. If you are not familiar with it, it is basically a marinade for chicken. It can also be used for other types of meats as well such as fish and beef. This mixture is a combination of tangy, hot and sweet flavors. The marinade is mixed in a blender to make things very easy. Some of the ingredients in the marinade include soy sauce, vinegar, green onions, jalapeño pepper and various seasonings. If you don’t want to use boneless skinless chicken breasts, any type of chicken would work.This is another summer grilling recipe and is perfect for outdoor cookouts. Enjoy.
