    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 🙂

    I love how easy this is, and it looks so yummy! So many jerk recipes seem complicated with super long ingredient lists, but this is doable for a weeknight!

    Oh! I’m going to try this, I’ll have to omit the nightshades, but I love Brown Sugar Truvia and I can use Primal Palate’s 5 spice! Yum!

    Yum! I love meals I can just throw in the oven and forget about for a while, so this looks perfect! And jerk spices are so good. Takes it from boring to so exciting.

    I used to love jerk chicken when I was a kid, haven’t had it for years! I have saved this recipe – definitely going to give it a go and reminisce a little!

    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!!!
