Ingredients

Caribbean Mango Slaw:

Directions

  1. Combine the jerk seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Rub the chicken with the jerk mixture (do not over season, or the dry rub will cake up and become too thick) and marinate, refrigerated, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  2. Combine the mango puree, honey, sriracha, lime juice, beer and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan and heat until the mixture comes to a boil; set aside.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook without moving for 3 minutes. Flip over and brush lightly with the mango glaze. Continue cooking until cooked all the way through (to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F), about another 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and brush with more glaze. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm. Serve with Caribbean Mango Slaw.
