Jerk Chicken

This is by far one of my favorite marinades! Another from Allrecipes (link). The only critique I have about this recipe is that it tends to be a little salty. Definitely use low sodium soy sauce. It is great served with rice!

Jerk Chicken Marinade

Ingredients
1/3 c olive oil
3 T vinegar (any kind works)
1 1/2 T lime juice (or lemon)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 T white sugar
1 t dried thyme
3/4 t ground allspice
1/2 t cinnamon

1/2 t cayenne
1/4 cup minced onions
2 cloves of garlic, minced
4 chicken breasts

Directions
1. In a large dish, mix all ingredients. Pierce chicken on all sides using a fork.
2. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
3. Cook over grill or in a pan on the stove until juices run clear.
4. I usually boil the remaining marinade until it thickens (and all the bacteria is killed) and then pour it over rice.
