Bob Marley's Jerk Chicken

My dad made this for my college graduation party. I thought about it a while back and looked up the recipe. So glad I remembered it because it is delicious! It is a lot of ingredients but so worth it, I promise! Make sure to make the cucumber dip. It goes with the chicken perfectly and makes a great salad dressing!
