This Jamaican Jerked Chicken recipe is a breeze to make. Simply add McCormick Caribbean Jerk Seasoning into a heavy duty one gallon reclosable plastic bag. Then add some canola oil, water, and lemon juice. Mix the McCormick Caribbean Jerk Seasoning Blend well with the liquid ingredients, add up to 4 chicken breasts, thighs, or a mix of parts. Then flip the bag over several times to coat the chicken with the Jamaican Jerk Seasonings. Place the bag in a refrigerated location for several hours. Turn the bag over every 1/2 hour or so, so that the Jamaican Jerk seasonings can penetrate the meat evenly. Then either grill until done, or bake for about an hour at 350° F.
This Jamaican Jerk Chicken recipe can be complemented by serving the Jamaican Jerked Chicken with Pigeon Peas and Rice, and a small salad of lettuce, cucumber and cherry tomatoes with French Dressing on the side.
