Grilled Caribbean Jerk Chicken

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, Italian dressing mix, thyme, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken leg quarters, seal the bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to marinate.

  2. 2

    Preheat your grill to medium heat. Drain the chicken, discarding the marinade. Place the chicken on the greased grill rack and cook, covered, for 35-45 minutes, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 170°-175°F.
