Caribbean Chicken

Submitted by Nancy G.

"I don't know where I go this recipe, but it has a very interesting mix of flavors that come together for great chicken. I usually double the the marinade and set half aside before I marinate the chicken. I cook the marinade I set aside at a low boil until reduced and has a syrupy consistency, stirring often. Baste chicken while it is grilling three or four times. I did not include marinating time in the prep time."

This chicken was so pretty after grilling. I should have doubled the marinade as mentioned and reduced it for a dipping sauce. Thanks.

Big hit with two large parties of 100 guests. They begged for the recipe. I used the marinade for pork as well.

This marinade is OUTSTANDING. I used it on pork chops.

This recipe was easy to make. Did not make any changes. We thought the taste was OK, nothing wrong to "fix", it just wasn't for us. Thanks for sharing, though.

My family really liked this recipe. I think next time I will make extra sauce to reduce to a glaze to put on top before eating, or to add while grilling. It has such great flavor! Thank you.
