Very delicious, and I wasn't even able to grill it. I marinated it overnight. I used red pepper flakes instead of jalepeno, just used white onion, and used frozen OJ concentrate instead of brown sugar to try something different. It was a hit, with a great combination of flavors. Very salty, though, and I didn't even use all the soy. I can't wait to make it on the grill!

I didn't think this tasted all that much like jerk chicken, but it was still really good! I added some garlic like other reviewers suggested. Next time I will use hotter peppers to make it a little spicier. But I will definitely make this again and again!

This recipe was OK, it didn't really taste like the Jerk Chicken we had in Jamaica; it was no where near as hot/spicy as I was expecting. I added more Jalapeno's than called for, I couldn't find any Habanero Peppers that are usually used in Jerk Chicken...also, I think traditional Jerk Chicken has Orange Juice in it too...so, not too sure if I would make this again. Thanks for the recipe anyway!!

It was good, but the soy made it way too salty for my tase! Maybe next time I'll try low sodium soy.

Wow. This recipe is AWESOME!!!! I followed the recipe exactly, but I only had 2 1/2 hours to marinade the chicken. I cut the chicken breast halves in half. This seemed to add more flavor. I grilled the chicken (on high) for about 12 minutes. The chicken was so juicy and the flavor was unbelievable! My fiance never had anything jerk before, and he said this is now his favorite meal. Thank you very much for sharing - we're going to make it again next week :)

not authentic, but good nonetheless and when you marinade long enough it will make the chicken tender.

I loved the flavor of this dish. It was my first time making anything Jamaican and it turned out great and full of flavor. I used extra jalapeno for added spiciness, but may add more next time or use a habanero pepper instead. I marinated the chicken overnight and cooked it at 350° for 30 minutes.

This is my family's favorite grilled chicken recipe. Our only changes: use whole chicken (remove the backbone, butterfly and grill inside down), brush heavily with the marinade and sub a couple of habeneros for the jalapeno.

This was a very tasty dish. I replaced the jalapenos with Habenero peppers for a spicier chicken. I My husband raved about this one. Thanks!!

Delicious! I pound the breasts a little prior to marinating and double the spices - other than that , I don't need to change a thing. The chicken is so moist and full of flavor!

I liked this recipe I was in a pinch so I tried it. My fiance is from the West Indies he really liked it I did make a few changes such as the jalapeno I used a scotch bonnet pepper much hotter. I also added 3 cloves of garlic. I marinade the chicken for two days then grill. I serve with rice and peas and steamed cabbage. Oh great with fish and pork.

I omitted the jalapeno as I was cooking for the kids. This was fantastic. Even my supremely picky 10 yr old girl gave it two thumbs up, which is rare. Also, this smelled wonderful while grilling. Thanks for sharing! This will be a regular addition to our summer menu.

For me, this is one of those recipes that smells and tastes sooooo much better after being cooked. I used chives instead of green onions and had to make some very minor substitutions for a few of the spices and herbs, I also didn’t have jalapeño so I used crushed red pepper flakes. I definitely recommend marinating for several hours and grilling instead of baking. Thanks a bunch!

This was very good and I received lots of compliments for it. However, next time, I would poke holes into the chicken or cut it thinner so it doesn't taste plain in the middle.
