Getting your spicy chicken fix got easier by using a jerk cooking sauce. Grilling over indirect heat on an outdoor grill ensures that your chicken will be moist on the inside without being charred to a crisp on the outside.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill grates
Four 8-ounce skin-on, bone-in chicken breast halves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Jamaican Style Jerk Cooking Sauce
4 cups coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons roasted, salted cashews, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
Juice of half a lemon
A quarter of a pineapple, core removed and diced
2 cups cooked warm white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat on one side.
  • Oil the grill grates. Sprinkle the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl filled with 1 cup of the Jamaican Style Jerk Cooking Sauce and toss to coat. Return the chicken to the indirect side of the grill, cover and cook, basting once with the remaining cooking sauce, until the chicken reaches and internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken back to the direct side, skin side-down, and cook until slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, cashews, cilantro, lemon juice and pineapple in another large bowl. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the chicken with the pineapple slaw and rice.

You can really use just about any part of the chicken skin on or off, but I have to say that it is better with the skin left on. Prepare ahead the chicken needs to marinate in the fridge for 3 hours, and if possible use only dark sugar it seems to work better, my family loves this chicken!
