Jerk Chicken Marylands
The flavour of this chicken marinade is perfectly balanced between sweet and savoury. Not too much chilli, but just enough! These are gorgeous when done on the BBQ and nicely browned all over. If you prefer, you can substitute the chicken Marylands for 8 smaller chicken thigh cutlets. Simply reduce the cooking time if you do this.
