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.

Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken Sandwiches

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.

Also try my grilled Malibu chicken sandwiches.

  • Let the chicken marinade for at least 4 hours (and up to 24 hours).

  • Lightly toast the buns on the grill.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by topping buns with chicken and slaw.
