Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken With Speecy Spicy Sauce

"I had jerk chicken for the first time from a restaurant called "Flames" here in Boston, and, as is seemingly my mission nowadays, I wanted to find a way to make it at home. This is a recipe I've tweaked to my own personal tastes, but be warned, it is very VERY speecy spicy! So you may want to have some rice or fruit nearby to quench the FLAMES! I used my little Foreman grill, and the chicken turned out perfectly!"

  1. Great jerk chicken, though I didn't make it exactly as the recipe indicated. I had to add only a fraction of the habaneros and it was still plenty hot for this wimp. The chicken breasts I used were skinless; next time I would use skin-on for just a little additional moistness.

For now, I am a student in Boston, not quite trying to make ends meet, but certainly trying my luck in the kitchen now that I have one all to my very own! I loooooove spicy food and have nostalgia for many foods that I can't quite put my finger on or track down! I think being a chef is my second calling (writing being my first!)
