     Chicken Low Carb & Paleo

    Easy Baked Jerk Chicken Low Carb is gluten-free, grain-free, keto, low carb, and paleo. Easy to make, and just as delicious as grilled jerk chicken from a Jamaican restaurant.

    Made with a Jamaican jerk marinade that has healthy ingredients, and spices that give this chicken a wonderful flavor with a little spice.

    You can adjust the cayenne pepper to your taste (mild to medium spice level).

    These are baked in the oven, but you can also throw these on the indoor or outdoor grill as well.

    Easy Baked Jerk Chicken Low Carb & Paleo

    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • ½  tsp dried minced garlic
    • ½  tsp ground nutmeg
    • ½  tsp black pepper

      Hi, do I use bone-in, skin-on for all pieces of chicken or just if I’m using chicken breast?

      Hi this looks amazing! Do you think it would work ok in the crock pot? Any suggestions on additional liquid to add? Thanks!

        Hi Donna, I don't know if the chicken skin will brown and get crisp in the slow cooker. Maybe after slow cooking, put it under the broiler for a couple minutes to brown. I know that is an extra step and might defeat the purpose of slow cooking. It would definitely need more of the marinade, possibly double the marinade liquid ingredients. Still not sure if it would work out, though. Good future experiment idea 🙂

      Hello Stacey! I posted a review of your Buffalo Wings last week. Now, I also made this, I added ground cloves., and my boys again loved this, in fact, they were gone in 60 seconds or so...lol... good thing I set aside some for myself to bring to work. My co-workers loved this and the wings too. Guess, Im surrounded with people who love super spicy food.
      Thank you!!!

      This marinade was awesome! I used it on skinless chicken thighs and bbq'd then instead of baking them. Marinated them about 8 hours. Fantastic!!!
