COOKING TIME: 20 MINUTES | SERVINGS: 4

Ingredients

4 chicken leg quarters (or 1 whole chicken,
cut into quarter pieces)
seasoned salt to taste (optional)
1 bottle Island Gurl Mango Jerk Sauce

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, add to a large bowl.
  2. Season chicken on all sides with the salt if using. Add 1 cup
    of mango jerk sauce, turn to coat, cover and place in refrigerator
    to marinate for 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Bring chicken to room temperature, lightly oil grill grates and grill
    chicken over a medium-hot charcoal grill for 15-20 minutes (cover for
    a smokier flavor), or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into
    the thickest part of the meat registers at 165°F (74°C).
  4. Pour ½ cup of jerk sauce from the bottle and brush over the
    chicken, transfer to a platter, garnish with mango slices,
    lime wedges and serve.
