Lindsey's Quick and Easy Grilled Jerk Chicken

Submitted by Chef #1041846

"This recipe started as an experiment in my kitchen when I got tired of the same old chicken and had to utilize what spices I had at the time. I improvised a bit, and It turned out great! The scent and flavor is excellent. The spices will smoke a bit and the chicken will have a blackened look, but when it is done it is succulent and moist. I hope you enjoy!"
