The chicken is so tender and juicy. All thanks to the marinade. Best marinade I have ever had! And that sweet, mango salsa…YUM! The flavors combine so perfectly. You’ve gotta try this recipe!

Jerk chicken with mango salsa is one of my new favorite recipes. It was so damn good! So simple and easy too. I can’t get over how delicious the marinade was. The flavors were like nothing ive tasted before!

You probably think I’m being dramatic…but I swear, if you’ve never tried jerk chicken, you gotta try this recipe first!

If you’re familiar with jerk chicken, it usually has a spicy ingredient. But I’m not a fan of spicy foods, and to be honest, I think spicy foods take away from all of the other flavors.

Mango salsa…SO easy to make. So colorful and fresh!

Any recipe that is easy to make, using simple ingredients and tastes amazing is gold!

I served my chicken over brown rice, but you can serve it with whatever you’d like!

I cant wait to make this recipe again. Im absolutely making it this week!

It would also be a really good fall dish, just because a lot of the seasonings used for the marinade are also commonly used for fall cooking, like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.

If you make this recipe, I hope you enjoy it!
