Grilled Jerk Chicken image

Spicy Caribbean-style jerk chicken cooked slowly on a warm grill reminds me of my trips to the islands as a sailor. Good main. A little time consuming putting the marinade together but well worth it. Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients, use what you have. You can double the dry ingredients and save for your next dinner party.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons ground sage
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup white vinegar
½ cup fresh orange juice
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup olive oil
1 lime, juiced
1 cup finely chopped white onion
3 each green onions, diced
1 Scotch bonnet chile pepper, chopped
4 each skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed

Steps:

  • Combine salt, garlic powder, sugar, allspice, thyme, cayenne, black pepper, sage, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl. While beating with a wire whisk, slowly add vinegar, orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, and lime juice. Add onion, green onions, and chile pepper and mix well. Add chicken breasts, cover, and marinate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade; reserve.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill, basting with the reserved marinade frequently, until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
