MATT'S JERK CHICKEN



Matt's Jerk Chicken image

Get ready for a trip to the Islands. You may think jerk chicken is complicated, but really, all it takes is time. Throw on some tunes, grab an icy drink and prepare to be transported. Have a smoker? You can smoke the chicken first and finish it on the grill. -Jenn Hall, Collingswood, New Jersey
