Jerk Chicken

Super EASY!!!

2 chicken breasts (with bone) I peeled the skin off*
4 Tablespoons of Jerk Seasoning -- if you want to make your own go for it.
1 juice from a lime
1 juice from an orange
1/2 cup tequila or rum (optional)

In a bowl spread the seasoning on the chicken -- press it in with your fingers. Add in the juice from the fruit. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes -- or up to 1 day...the longer the better.
Preheat BBQ to 350 **
Grill chicken for about 17 minutes or so on each side. Do not flip the meat more than once...don't open the lid. If you flip it, poke it with a fork (no dirty jokes please), touch it, move it around, it becomes tough.

Serve with spicy beans.

Time saving tip:
Make more than one serving of chicken -- you can use the leftover chicken the next day in a salad or reheat for chicken tacos, or a sandwich.

* If you used boneless you really only need about 11 or 13 minutes on each side...use a timer.

** You can bake the chicken on 350 - for 45 minutes.
