We tried a new marinade for Caribbean Jerk Chicken this week and it was delicious! This spice mix has the perfect balance of spices and coats the chicken beautifully. I marinated the chicken for a few hours and we had planned to grill it outside. The weather didn’t end up cooperating so I ended up baking this for 350 degrees for about forty-five minutes, and it was absolutely perfect.
We served the chicken with rice and some corn to complete the dinner!
Yummy Jerk Chicken
1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 1/2 lbs chicken pieces
Mix the marinade ingredients into a bowl and then pour over the chicken pieces. Allow this to marinate for a minimum of one hour or overnight. Grill your meat until it is done.
Looks yummy! You always share such good recipes.

This looks just like the recipe I used in my “once a week cooking” lineup this week. I made the marinade and put that and the chicken in a freezer bag, ready to go sometime later.
I made my own Italian dressing mix because it seemed sort of pricey. I hope it turns out ok!
Glad to know I can bake it if I don’t grill out.
