Servings: 4 | Preparation time: 10 minutes (plus marinating time) | Cooking time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Directions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the jerk barbecue sauce, lime juice, and melted coconut oil. Add the chicken pieces and thoroughly coat them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, for the best flavor.

2. Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

3. Place chicken skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 12–15 minutes, then turn. Continue grilling for another 12–15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and juices run clear. Use indirect heat and cover if you notice flare-ups.

4. During the last 5 minutes, brush extra jerk barbecue sauce on the chicken to build a caramelized, sticky glaze.

5. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps lock in the juices.
