- Make sure to rub the chicken breasts with olive oil before coating them with the spice mixture. This will help the spices stick to the chicken and create a crispy exterior.
- If you don't have Jamaican Jerk seasoning, you can make your own by combining a blend of spices such as allspice, cayenne pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
- For a more authentic Jamaican flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the spice mixture overnight before cooking. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken and create a more intense flavor.
