scotch bonnet peppers

💰Cheaper: jalapeño peppers

Jalapeños provide heat but are milder and easier to find.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: tamari

Tamari is gluten-free and has a similar flavor.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

Olive oil offers healthier fats.

Drizzle a little oil on the white meat chicken to help the rub stick.

In a bowl, combine brown sugar, pepper, thyme, paprika, shallot, cloves, all spice, onion powder, cayenne, and garlic to create the jerk rub.

Let the chicken marinate with the jerk rub for at least 30 minutes, or longer for better flavor.

Soak skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Skewer the marinated chicken onto the soaked sticks.

Grill the skewers for a couple of minutes per side until the chicken is done and juices run clear.

Prepare the mango salsa by cutting the mango along each side of the seed and scooping out the flesh, then chunk it up and place it in a bowl.

Add lime juice, chopped red onion, and diced jalapeno (removing seeds to reduce heat) to the bowl with mango.

Season the salsa with a little salt and let it sit to allow the flavors to meld.
