Grilled Caribbean Jerk Chicken is a must try recipe for sure, either on your grill or Blackstone griddle it’s one of my most simple recipes, but probably one of my all time favorites.

My inspiration for this was something very similar that my son and I had at Disney’s Animal Kingdom a few months ago.

The chicken was so flavorful and juicy, I just had to try and recreate it 🙂

I think one reason it was extra good was because I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.

How to make Grilled Caribbean Jerk Chicken

A little soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, along with some Caribbean Jerk seasoning.

We like heat, so I added some ground red pepper as well.

All of this goodness goes into a gallon size plastic bag and marinates overnight.

Preheat your grill or Blackstone griddle to medium/ medium-high heat.

And sprinkle kosher salt and pepper on the chicken before cooking.

Just a few minutes per side and it’s ready!

Serve with a lime on the side to squeeze over top if you like.

I hope you like Grilled Caribbean Jerk Chicken as much as my family did.

We even had some extras to cut up over salads the next night, so we got to enjoy it twice 🙂
