Citrus Jerk Chicken on the Grill

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Citrus Jerk Chicken on the Grill.

1. Step 1

   To start your flavorful journey, grab a resealable plastic bag and combine 3 tablespoons of jerk seasoning with grapeseed oil, lemon juice, lime juice, and orange juice.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good mix to create a zesty marinade that will infuse your chicken with vibrant flavors.

3. Step 3

   Next, prepare your chicken by placing each breast on a flat surface.

4. Step 4

   With a gentle hand, slice horizontally through the middle of each breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

5. Step 5

   This technique will allow you to open the chicken like a book, creating a beautiful butterflied piece ready for marinating.

6. Step 6

   Now, sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of jerk seasoning over the butterflied chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.

7. Step 7

   Place the seasoned chicken into the marinade bag, seal it tightly, and let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.

8. Step 8

   This is the perfect time to let those flavors meld together! When you’re ready to grill, take the chicken out of the fridge about 10 minutes beforehand to bring it to room temperature.

9. Step 9

   Preheat your gas grill to a sizzling 500°F (260°C) and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.

10. Step 10

    Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken on it and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

    You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
