If you've visited any of the 12 Luxury-Included Sandals Resorts, then you know what a tasty treat their jerk chicken is.  They recently shared an incredible jerk chicken recipe with us, and we thought we'd pass it along to you. 

“Jerk” seasoning was first created by the Arawak Indians, the original inhabitants of Jamaica. The spices and peppers were used to preserve meats in tropical climates. It is said that the term "jerk" comes from the Spanish term charqui, which means dried meat. “Jerk” also refers to the motion of how the meat is cooked over the grill. Try out the “jerk” chicken recipe below and bring a little bit of the Caribbean into your kitchen today.

Ingredients:
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves cut into chunks
• 4 limes, juiced
• 1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 onions, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups chopped green onions

Place chicken, lime juice and water in a medium sized bowl. Place allspice, nutmeg, salt, brown sugar, thyme, ginger, black pepper in onions, green onions, garlic and habanero peppers and vegetable oil in food processor. Pour the blended marinade into the bowl with the chicken. Save a small portion of the marinade to be used during cooking.
