Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken Sandwiches

Man oh man, these grilled Jamaican jerk chicken sandwiches disappeared fast. I used my preferred chicken meat, thighs, instead of breasts, but you can certainly use white meat instead. I would recommend butterflying the breasts or just cutting them thin (and to a consistent thickness so they cook evenly). No matter what you use, these sandwiches are nicely spiced, crazy tender and perfectly moist. I wouldn’t change a thing about them.

Any Good Jerk Marinade Will Do

I used some The Shizzle jerk marinade. It is my favorite. They also make a hot version that I love (it is called Voodoo Hot for a reason!). Their marinade is what makes these grilled Jamaican jerk chicken sandwiches soooo good. Any good store-bought jerk marinade will work just fine in this recipe. You could make your own too, of course!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Let the chicken marinade for at least 4 hours (and up to 24 hours).
  • Fire up your grill for direct and indirect cooking.
  • Shake off any excess marinade from the chicken and place over direct heat.
  • Sear for a few minutes, then rotate 90 degrees and cook another 2 minutes or until you get those perfect grill marks.
  • Flip and cook another 2 minutes.
  • Remove to indirect heat and cook until done.
  • Lightly toast the buns on the grill.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by topping buns with chicken and slaw.

Notes

The chicken is also great sliced thin and served over lettuce for salads.
