Steps:
- Pour the marinade into a large zip lock bag. Add the chicken, seal well, and refrigerate all day or overnight. Preheat oven to 400°F. Add the flour to a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. Coat the chicken with flour mixture and place in the hot skillet, browning on both sides. Watch carefully as the sugar in the marinade browns quickly. You will need to brown the chicken in 2 batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Add more oil to the pan for the second batch. Place the browned chicken on a sheet pan and bake 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade for your chicken. A good marinade will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. Some popular Caribbean jerk marinades include a mixture of allspice, thyme, scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, and ginger.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Jerk seasoning is very versatile, so you can adjust the flavors to suit your own taste. If you like it hot, add more scotch bonnet peppers. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of peppers or omit them altogether.
- Cook your chicken over a medium-low heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out and allow the flavors to develop.
- If you're using a grill, make sure to baste the chicken frequently with the marinade. This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from burning.
- Serve your jerk chicken with your favorite sides. Popular sides for jerk chicken include rice and peas, fried plantains, and coleslaw.
