Recipe Of The Day: Jamaican Jerk Chicken

Everyone loves Jerk Chicken and lately I have been getting hit up by alot of my good friends for a simple but authentic tasting Jerk Chicken recipe. The great thing about this recipe is that the flavors come together without overpowering one another and it is really easy to make. In the Summertime this a real hit by the poolside with a few cold Red Stripe Beers, Some shots of Mango Juice & Patron and some cold Ambrosia. With everyone trying to be healthy the chicken really helps work itself into most diets, that is unless your on the no flavor diet then this isn't for you.
Enjoy!
