This vibrant grilled jerk chicken recipe brings a true taste of the Caribbean to your dinner table. Combining the heat of Scotch bonnet chillies with warm spices like thyme and allspice, the chicken is marinated to ensure every bite is packed with punchy, aromatic flavour. This dairy-free main course is perfect for those who enjoy a savoury, spicy kick balanced by the natural sweetness of fruit.
To complement the heat of the jerk rub, the dish is served with a quick homemade mango chutney and a tangy yellow mustard hot sauce. These bright, acidic accompaniments help to mellow the spice, making it a fantastic choice for a summer barbecue or a weekend family feast. Serve the chicken alongside coconut rice or a fresh green salad for a complete, healthy meal.

120ml cider vinegar
2 tablespoons (packed) brown sugar
1/8 teaspoons ground allspice
1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

7 Scotch bonnet chillies with seeds, finely diced (wear gloves when handling chillies)

How to make Grilled Jerk Chicken with Scotch Bonnet Sauce and Mango Chutney
In blender or food processor, purée oil, chillies, spring onions, thyme, dry mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Arrange chicken in large glass baking dish and coat on all sides with paste. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
In medium sauté pan over moderate heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 7 to 9 minutes. Add mango and vinegar and cook, stirring frequently, until mango is tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and allspice and simmer gently until sugar is melted and mixture is slightly thickened and syrupy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper. Transfer chutney to serving dish and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
In medium bowl, stir together all ingredients; stand back to let irritating fumes dissipate, then set aside.
Prepare grill for cooking: If using charcoal grill, open vents on bottom, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 4 to 5 seconds. If using gas grill, preheat burners on high with hood closed 10 minutes, then turn down to moderately high.
Arrange chicken breasts on grill, skin sides down. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 7 to 9 minutes per side. Transfer breasts to platter and top each with spoonful of mango chutney. Serve, passing additional chutney and hot sauce on side.
