My inspiration for this recipe is a jerk type of marinade...i did it in the oven but it could easily be done on the grill also.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like there are a lot of ingredients and it might be too spicy for me.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken legs turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These chicken legs were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best jerk chicken he's ever had.
