Carribean Jerk Chicken with Island Rice

Lately when it comes to chicken it has been boneless and made in the crockpot. I wanted chicken on the grill but not barbecue and both my husband and I love jerk wings so that was the inspiration behind this dinner. I marinated the chicken for about 6 hours before grilling. I decided to serve it alongside a sweet island rice. The combination was a hit!

Take the chicken and place into a large zip lock bag. Add half of the marinade and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or even overnight. Grill chicken for 8-9 minutes a side or until juices run clear. Serve on a bed of island rice.
