• 3 TBSP olive oil
• 2 TBSP soy sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Blend all of the marinade ingredients together in a food processor til smooth. Put chicken in a 13x9-inch casserole dish and season it with salt and pepper. Cover the chicken with the jerk marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Heat grill to medium high. Lightly oil the grates to keep the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade letting the excess drip off and arrange them on the grill. Cover the grill and cook about 5 minutes per side, or til the chicken is done and the marinade is blackened and caramelized in spots.
