Easy Jerk Chicken or Pork Marinade image

I've used this with both chicken breasts (makes enough for 8 boneless breasts) or pork tenderloins. It makes the meat so tender and juicy! Perfect for grilling, or you can also use it in the oven. Great in a slow cooker if you prefer, for an easy dinner without the grill. Be SURE to wear gloves when handling the hot peppers.
