Grilling Instructions
- Place chicken on a grill, turn chicken once it starts to brown. Occasionally brush chicken with leftover marinade or water to prevent it from becoming dry.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken in the oven and bake for 30 – 40 minutes
- Brush chicken every 8 minutes to keep it from drying out.
Notes
Notes: if you have no homemade marinade, you can use your favorite jerk chicken seasoning, I recommend Zaxby's Caribbean jerk sauce, Grace Foods, or Walkerswood Seasoning.
When using jerk seasoning I advise using no more than 2 tablespoons, jerk seasonings have strong flavors, and using too much will overpower the dish.
