Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the jerk seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken halves. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken halves skin-side down for about 10-12 minutes. Flip and grill for another 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Brush with additional BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for extra flavor.

Corn Rice Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the drained corn.

Apple Coleslaw Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and diced apple. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
