Cuisine: Caribbean
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons brown sugar; 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 2 teaspoons thyme, dried; 1 teaspoon allspice; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 teaspoon nutmeg; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste); 2 green onions, chopped; Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each breast is coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have beautiful grill marks.
While grilling, baste the chicken with any remaining marinade periodically to enhance the flavors and keep the meat moist and flavorful.
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips or serving it whole. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
Enjoy your delicious Original Jerk Chicken hot off the grill, paired with your favorite sides like rice and beans, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
