Truth be told, ever since this Bostonist transplanted to Boston, she's been yearning to have a full blown dinner party. Trouble is, being in a new city doesn't exactly mean you've got the guests for said party! That being said, recipes are made to be tested, and therefore, she cooks. This recipe for Jerk Chicken was born out of the need to find a main course to pair with a Sweet Potato Souffle.
