Instructions

To butterfly chicken, start by removing neck, giblets, and cut away excess fat. Next, take a pair of kitchen shears and cut along both sides of backbone to remove. Turn chicken over skin side up and press down between the breasts to break the keel bone (this will allow the chicken to lay very flat on grill).

Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris

Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris are great choices for Jerk Chicken. You'll want to opt for wines with a bit of sweetness when dealing with spicy Caribbean dishes. Serve these wines chilled so they're even more refreshing. The Schloss Johannisberg Gelblack Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 35 dollars per bottle.

Schloss Johannisberg Gelblack Riesling

Brilliant lemon yellow. The nose is young with white flowers, grinded lemon peel and pears. The palate is firm and fresh, well balanced with crisp acidity. Complex, exceptionally balanced and refined.Pairs well with salads and roasted chicken.
