Incredible flavor and the marinade actually sticks to the meat. Awesome and my husband loved it too!

Delicious and healthy! I used two enormous free range chicken breasts. I substituted lite italian salad dressing (liquid) for the mix. I also used apple cider vinegar instead of oil. I baked my chicken as well - 350 for an hour and 15 mins. (But judge cooking time based on your chicken)

My family loved this! Great flavor! I made it with brown rice that I added some orange marmalade, green onions, and toasted almonds to.

The jerk seasoning was dead on perfect. It's not as good on the grill because the sugar on it burns but it is Yum-O.

very good flavor, easy to follow recipe. Adjust cooking time according to thickness of meat.

Very good! I too used only a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon because I'm not a huge cinnamon fan. It was still very good. Easy to make also. I will make this again!
