This is a favorite with family and friends, so much flavor, so healthy and the right spice, works well with any foods. I love it the next day in a made up Caesar salad in a low fat and carb wrap.

3Oil BQ grill with oil or a spray, then set BQ on high and after reaching a least 400F, place chicken on a pre oiled grate for 10 min.
-
4Then set the grill at lowest possible setting and flip the chicken and grill until fully cooked about 30 min for legs and thighs and breast about 10 to 15 min depending on thickness. **DO NOT OVER COOK BREAST AS MEAT WILL BE DRY. Better to under cook and reheat.

5*****TIPS***** I like to make the jerk chicken marinade ahead of time and let it set in fridge to get the spices rolling with flavor... oh my..... this will store nice in the frig for some time...so make extra if you like it and have it on hand. I use a sharp stainless needle blades kitchen tool for tenderizing he chicken breast before I marinade.... Sold on amazon. Great served over a salad or with Jamaican rice, Jerri made BQ fried pineapple, and we served the jerk chicken on top. Also great on a Caesar salad or a Caesar Salad jerk chicken wrap. ****make enough as this is a food pleaser for a crowd. photo coming soon, I always forget to take a photo.
