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. Made for The Caribbean Islands round of ZWT9 for team Tasty Testers.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
