Grilled Citrus Jerk Chicken

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Breast Recipes. (Grilled Citrus Jerk Chicken). I'm a Floridian so I embraced my roots when creating this jerk chicken which is decidedly a mix of Floridian and Jamaican cuisine. I use jerk seasoning from the Savory Spice Shop®, or you can use your preferred brand or homemade jerk seasoning. Serve with additional jerk seasoning sprinkled on top if desired.
