I didn't have time to marinate more than 10 minutes, but this was great anyway! I doubled the amount of thyme. I was nervous about the lack of heat some other reviewers commented on, so I doubled the pepper, but that was too hot for me! Next time, I'll use the normal amount of pepper. Great recipe, thanks!

I rarely give low ratings but this just taste weird imo; all I could taste was the allspice... I was expecting a spicy Cajun flavor. I wont make this again!

I cut the salt in half and added a little more cayenne. Didnt have time to marinate (I was too hungry) so I threw it in the oven right after rubbing. Just before turning the broiler on I basted the chicken with the juices in the bottom. Turned out great, skin was nice and crisp. I think maybe next time I might cut the cinnamon in half, it seemed to overpower the rest of the flavors. Other than that it was great, quick and easy. Thanks! Oh, and I didnt use a whole chicken just breasts with bone and skin on.

This chicken was AMAZING! I don't know if I would call it "jerk" chicken, as it tasted nothing like the jerk chicken I have had...BUT it is amazing in it's own right. I followed the recipe as directed minus the nutmeg as I didn't have any. And instead of baking the chicken I threw the pieces directly on the grill. It was SO juicy and moist! It's the best chicken I have ever made and my fiance agreed. THANK YOU!

Made this for a Caribbean potluck. Pretty tasty but a little too mild. Jerk chicken usually has habanero peppers in it so I'll probably add those next time.

Wow - this was GOOD! I didn't have time to marinate the meat in the rub mixture, but even just five minutes of sitting worked out fine. We ate this with fried plantains and refried black beans, with rum and pineapple juice to drink :)

I had to feed 12 people so I quadrupled (4X) the recipe and instead of using a whole chicken I used boneless skinless breasts, cut into thick strips and put on skewers on the grill. (Just like the jerk chicken we had in Jamaica) It was good but next time I make it I am reducing the salt to teaspoons instead of tablespoons. It was way too salty! Otherwise it was very good.

Oh I wish I tasted this before I cooked my chicken with it because all I could taste was the salt because it overpowered everything else. I used fresh garlic and onion and doubled the cayenne because I like things spicy but the salt just killed it. I will try this recipe again but use way less salt!

I'm glad I tasted the spice rub before using it. I had to double all of the spices (except salt) to compensate. Next time I would only use 1.5 tsp of salt.

This was awesome!!! I omitted the cayenne pepper and replaced it with paprika and some seasoning salt because my kids (who ate way more than usual) cant handle anything even remotly spicy. I also just used powdered garlic. My husband was a firm believer that he didnt like jerk anything has changed his mind. This goes in the folder of things I highly recommend and will make agian.

This was excellent! This will be my go to chicken recipe. I can't wait to have people over to grill for. We did grill the chicken but in the winter we will bake/broil. This chicken goes perfect with Dos Equis Amber with a lime!

One bite of this chicken and I am literally addicted--I cannot believe how good this was! I use skinless boneless chicken breasts and omitted the cinnamon based on prior reviews. Will definitely be making again, but will reduce the salt to 2 tsp.

I have never had jerk chicken before but always wanted to try it. I became extremely cautious when I saw the recipe called for a lot of the same ingredients I use to make my pumpkin pie. I ended up chickening out and only using half of the cinnamon/brown sugar that the recipe called for. This came out sooo good! I was so scared to take a bite but once I did I ate so much. I also added more cayenne (I love hot stuff.) The chicken was so moist and full of flavor. I served it with black beans and white rice. Will def. make again.
