Caribbean Jerk Chicken Freezer Recipe

This is by far the most yummy chicken marinade that I've ever had. We do two different things with this. We'll cook up a lot of chicken cubed and then use it up in stir fries or rice or pasta dishes or we'll just put the raw chicken into a marinade and then grill it. The grill version seems to be the preferred. :)

2 1/2 lbs chicken pieces
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp ground red pepper flakes
1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix

Combine ingredients except chicken in a small bowl. Add chicken to a freezer bag, then add Caribbean Jerk mixture. Carefully move the chicken around so it is thoroughly coated, then freeze.

On cooking day, thaw in refrigerator and remove chicken pieces, disposing of the leftover marinade. Barbeque on a grill or bake in a 375 oven for approx 60 minutes (may vary depending on which chicken pieces are used.
