Chicken, Sugar Reef Style Jerk

By

Jerk chicken is the pride of Jamaica and it the most requested dish on the Sugar Reef menu. When prepared properly, it is a stunning, mouth watering dish that is hard to forget. This recipe is not as hot as you would find in Jamaica. For that authentic flavor, double the quantity of dry spices.

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. With a wire whip, stir in
liquid ingredients and mix well. Stir in the vegetables and pour all over
the chicken breasts. Cover and marinate at least one hour, but preferably
