Caribbean Jerk Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 chicken leg quarters (8-1/2 ounces each), skin removed
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

• With a sharp knife, cut leg quarters at the joints if desired. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the remaining ingredients; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
• Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 35-45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, turning occasionally.
