Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken

Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken

I was inspired to make this recipe after eating a Jerk Chicken dish at a local Jamaican restaurant.    The chicken was superb, tender, juicy and spicy.   I wanted to capture the spiciness and tenderness of the chicken without over cooking and drying out the meat.   I accomplished this by letting my chicken have proper rest time in the marinade.   You can let the chicken marinate for a couple of hours, however, I like to leave my chicken sit in the marinade for at least 18 hours.

Getting your kids involved in projects that you can eat is quite messy, but rewarding.  A fun quick and easy recipe to make with kids is Chocolate M & M Bark.  What makes the bark fun is that you can add any type of candy pieces you would like.  If you are up for a challenge you can temper the chocolate.  However, unless you’re a master chocolatier or have a personal tempering unit at home this can be a more complex process.  To make it simple, I recommend using chocolate coating, which requires no tempering.
