    I made this recipe with one quarter of the salt called for. Preparation time was less than ten minutes for everything. Presentation was so lovely it drew compliments from my teenagers. My (aggressively individual family unanimously voted this recipe a perfect 10.

    Wow. This one was exactly what I wanted jerk chicken to be. A little spicy, but that's how my family likes it. I opt'ed to grill the chicken rather then fry it in a saute pan and it was excellent.

    I marinated some chicken tournadoes in this jerk marinade and it was a great hit. The only suggestion I have is if your chicken has been brined or seasoned from the packaging, reduce the salt in the marinade. Our chicken was slightly salty, but tasty just the same
