Reviews
Wow. This one was exactly what I wanted jerk chicken to be. A little spicy, but that’s how my family likes it. I opt’ed to grill the chicken rather then fry it in a saute pan and it was excellent.
I marinated some chicken tournadoes in this jerk marinade and it was a great hit. The only suggestion I have is if your chicken has been brined or seasoned from the packaging, reduce the salt in the marinade. Our chicken was slightly salty, but tasty just the same
