Citrus-Kissed Jerk Grilled Chicken
Citrus-Kissed Jerk Grilled Chicken balances bright lemon, lime, and orange with the warm heat of jerk spices, yielding juicy, lightly charred breast meat. The zippy marinade lifts the savory notes and keeps the chicken tender on the grill. Serve for a sunny weeknight dinner or a backyard cookout alongside rice, grilled veggies, or a crisp slaw.
