I didn't really dig this recipe so much. The chicken was moist and a little sweet, just not very flavorfull. Check out Jay's jerk chicken instead!!!!

I have made this twice in the last 2 weeks. I love it! It tastes even better the next day. I didn't use a habanero because they didn't have any plus I wasn;t sure if it would be too spicey for my kids, just used a serrano pepper but other than that...I followed the recipes exactly and even my kids love it. A keeper for sure.

If I could give this recipe 4.5 stars, I would. Overall, this recipe was a great recipe for jerk chicken. My only issue with it was the pepper. My husband and I love spicy food being that we are both from tropical regions but this was a bit TOO spicy for us. I recommend reducing the pepper to HALF of a pepper and I also recommend adding a few small pieces of tropical fruit, such as pineapple, kiwi, or mango to the marinade.

This was okay. I felt like it was missing something (not sure what)? I might try it again and tinker with the recipe a bit.

This was yummy! I used half as much chicken (there's only 2 of us) and half of a habanero, then I cut the chicken into strips and put it on skewers. We grilled the chicken after it marinated overnight, and it turned out great! We turned ours into a salad, and I used the leftover marinade (after boiling it) to make a vinaigrette with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and that was our salad dressing! We will definitely make this often- it was easy and full of flavor.

I wasn't to impressed with this recipe. I followed it to the T and even decided to make it a second time with a jalepeno pepper instead and still did not like it.

This is fantastic and SO easy! A single big habanero is just enough spice - use two if you want it very warm! I was surprised to read the review from the woman whose hands were burning after cutting the pepper, but I guess it's all in what you're used to. We cook a lot of spicy food down here, and I've chopped up a dozen habaneros at a time before without getting even a finger tingle. I'd never heard of anyone wearing rubber gloves before. :S

This is a delicious marinade. Not a typical jerk chicken recipe, but it is well worth trying. I chose to make this as part of an effort to cut back on calories lately. A couple of notes: I doubled the recipe, and the amount was just right. There is also no need to pour any reserved marinade over the cooked meat. The broiled meat was perfect without any additional sauce. We actually used the extra marinade as a dipping sauce and decided the chicken was better without it. Will definitely file this one away and make it again!

Maybe I did something wrong, I did use jalapenos because of earlier reviews. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and even marianated it for 5 hours. This is not what I remember and was not spicy at all. It was flavorful, but not Jery Chicken which is what I was looking for.

This recipe turned out great. I have traveled to jamaica and wanted to recreate jerk chicken. My only problem was that I couldn't get a habenero pepper. I used jalepenos instead, but it was not spicy enough for my taste.

Wish we could give this 4.5 stars. It was very good, and very flavorful. We cooked it on the grill instead of in the oven.

Pretty decent recipe. I couldn't find any habaneros at the grocery store so I substituted 2 table spoons of diced jalapeno's and they had some spice to them but not enough to compel you to grab the closest cold beverage!

My family only changed this recipe a bit, but I think the changes made a GREAT end product; everyone absolutely loved it! We doubled the entire sauce recipe except soy sauce (6 Tbsp), used only 1 habenaro, and used 1/2 of a small, yellow onion. Also, we added a couple chunks of frozen mango and about 6 Tbsp of orange juice to the sauce. Served with Red Beans and Rice and roasted cajun corn on the cob.

This was my first time making Jerk Chicken and it was absolutely delicious. I used chicken breast cut up and doubled the sauce. Although I didn’t have allspice I substituted with nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. I went to the store to pick up some real allspice this morning and going to make this wonderful dish again next week. Great with rice Yum

Great recipe! I used boneless, skinless breasts and thighs and bumped the sugar up by 1 Tbs (accidently.) There were teens hovering around the kitchen as the chicken began to broil and not a single shred of leftovers.
