This is a great basic recipe that really is super easy! I mixed the jerk seasoning in with the lime juice and oil and marinated the chicken for about a hour. It was flavorful and zesty. Made by a Tasty Tester for ZWT9.

This was good! I couldn't really taste the lime which I think would make this 5 stars. Next time I will squeeze a samll amount of lime juice on the chicken right when it is about the be flipped. Made for ZWT9 for the Gourment Goddesses July 2013.

We enjoyed this - just like the name says - Basic. It's a great jumping off point for a jerk recipe, especially if you have your own seasoning preference. I followed the recipe as written and liked the tang from the lime. I'm sure I'll be making DH grill this for me again, and soon! Thanks for sharing, LifeISGood!

This was good. I actually was the opposite of Ck2plz and thought the lime was strong on our chicken. It must have been my limes. I used Recipe #95953 for the jerk spice, which was nice and spicy. This chicken came out very moist which is unusual when we grill chicken. I'm sure we will be making this again. Thank you LifeIsGood.
