Handle Habaneros with Care: Always wear gloves when handling habanero peppers, as they can cause skin irritation. Avoid touching your eyes or face after handling them. Remove the seeds and membranes for less heat. Adjust the Spice Level: For a milder flavor, use half of the habanero pepper or substitute it with a milder pepper like a jalapeño. If you prefer more heat, leave the seeds in the habanero or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade. Marinating Time: While marinating for 4 hours will impart flavor, marinating overnight will yield the best results, allowing the chicken to absorb the marinade fully. Serving Suggestions: Serve the Runaway Bay Jamaican Chicken with rice and peas, grilled vegetables, or a fresh mango salsa for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with extra cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Marinade: In a food processor, combine the red onion, garlic, habanero pepper, and ginger. Pulse until finely minced. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Blend the Marinade: Add the olive oil, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cilantro, salt, and pepper to the food processor. Blend until a smooth marinade forms. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Marinate the Chicken: In a large container or resealable bag, combine the chicken breasts with the marinade. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Refrigerate: Cover the container or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. (4+ hours)
05 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350-450°F or 175-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through, no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (16-20 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Rest and Serve: Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

May 29, 2025I was a bit worried about the heat from the habanero, but it was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the brown sugar and orange juice. My family loved it!

Sep 24, 2024I made this last night, and it was fantastic! I didn't have any cilantro, so I substituted it with parsley, and it still turned out great. Will definitely make this again.
