It is not the authentic jerk chicken flavour that I am used to in the Caribbean.

I have made this recipe many times and everyone loves it. Super easy to make and left over (which is rare) are great. Anne

Flavor was good, I wished I marinate it longer so flavor will sink in more. Anyways, husband loved it so definitely will make this again.

It was delicious. I was surprised at just how easy it was. The Allspice really adds that Jamaican flavour.

Very good-even my picky eaters loved it. I cut the chicken into smaller pieces and used extra dressing for basting.
