Caribbean Jerk Baked Chicken
When I think of Caribbean Jerk, I think warmth and sunshine. So maybe that’s why I wanted to make this Caribbean Jerk Baked Chicken recipe.
Use a store-bought seasoning or if you want to go all out, by all means make this Caribbean Jerk Seasoning.
How to make Caribbean Jerk Baked Chicken
Marinate the chicken legs in some soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and Caribbean Jerk seasoning.
I used a plastic gallon size baggie and place it in the fridge overnight to marinate.
You could also add ground red pepper for some added spice.
When you’re ready to bake, simply place the chicken in a dish lined with foil.
Sprinkle all sides with more jerk seasoning and some kosher salt and pepper.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
Check to make sure it’s at least 170 degrees with a thermometer.
Especially for taking a few shortcuts from the authentic Caribbean Jerk 🙂
I recommend squeezing a little extra lime juice over top of your Caribbean Jerk Baked Chicken.
