“I like my food bursting with flavor, so I love to experiment with all different ethnic recipes. Sweet, tangy barbecue sauce goes well with the heat of the jerk-seasoned marinade in this recipe. Ease of prep plus an appealing presentation make it great for entertaining. And friends always come back for seconds!” —Karen Cambiotti, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

We made this with friends with chicken breasts. We also cooked the breasts on the grill. This was voted by all as one of the best chicken recipes we've ever made. It was just as good cold, the next day for lunch !
