Carribbean Chicken Marinade

This marinade has become a favorite in my house.  It has a wonderful sweet and spicy flavor.  I make it all the time when I want to grill or bake chicken.  For me, it is a great “last minute” marinade because I always have these ingredients on hand.  I have used it on chicken legs, breasts, wings and breast tenders. 

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp dry Italian dressing mix
  • 1 tsp Jamaican Jerk seasoning
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic

Combine all ingredients and pour over chicken.  Cover and marinate for 6 hours or longer.
