When cooking jerk chicken is it ok to use chicken breast instead of the other parts of the chicken?

Question

is jerk chicken healthy

Answer 1

Absolutely.

In fact, I don't eat dark meat chicken at all, so when I make jerk chicken I always use b*****s.

As long as you use Canola oil or Olive oil in your marinade instead of vegetable or a high saturated fat type oil, it is quite healthy.

Eat guilt-free.

Answer 2

You sure can. It is healthier grilled or cooked with less and/or healthier fat.

Answer 3

yes it is ok to use the chicken breast (its better for you than the dark meat) dark meat is oilier and has more fat.  I think jerk chicken is healthy as long as you use a jerk rub, opposed to a marinade.
