Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the honey, jerk seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. While the chicken is cooking, brush it with the remaining marinade every few minutes to create a sticky glaze.
7. Once the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized glaze, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
8. Serve the honey jerk chicken with your favorite side dishes
