Steps:
- Wash chicken with Lime, or you can substitute with lemon juice.
- Remove all excess fat and dry with paper towels. Try to remove as much water from the chicken as possible.
- You are now ready to prepare your Jerk Sauce (Marinade) to add to your chicken.
- If you are not up to making your own marinade you can use a store bought brand of jerk seasoning like Grace Jerk seasoning.
- Add Olive oil to a skillet under a medium flame.
- Add your garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper, and allow to saute for about 4 minutes.
- Now you can add your brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice,
- Stir mixture in skillet until it becomes pasty (approx 5 minutes)
- You can now remove contents from skillet and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes.
- Add the mixture to a food processor, add your thyme, ginger, white pepper, scallions, onion, soy sauce, and beef bouillon and blend for about 30 seconds. (Make sure your setting is set to pulse).
- You can add additional Scotch Bonnet Pepper(s) to suit your taste.
- Rub your chicken with your marinade (make sure you drench it to ensure maximum flavor).
- You can now place your chicken in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag or covered bowl for a few hours (I prefer to do it overnight).
- Place your chicken in a baking pan lined with aluminum foil. You can add a wire before placing the chicken in the baking pan so excess grease will drip down into the pan.
- Bake chicken for approximately 20 minutes until it is crisp and brown.
- You can then flip your chicken parts in your baking pan to do the other side. and let it bake an additional 20 minutes.
- You can use the leftover marinade, and add it to your excess grease from the baking pan and saute for about 10 minutes. (This makes for a delicious gravy and or dipping sauce)

THE REAL JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN - NEARLY TOO HOT TO HANDLE!
A classic Jamaican Jerk Chicken recipe, sent to me by a friend in Kingston, Jamaica! You can adjust the "heat" to your own requirements - and don't forget the Rum Punch! Try to use fresh limes wherever possible.....it makes such a difference to the taste. Edited to say: In response to a recent review, please note that this IS a GENUINE jerk recipe from a very good friend who lives in Jamaica - whom I have visited many times! However, this is NOT a "commercial" flavoured jerk seasoning mix. It is very spicy and may not suit those of you who dislike strong spices, such as allspice and nutmeg, which are quite strong! Feel free to adjust these seasonings if you wish - the taste may be more to your liking, if not 100% authentic! Thanks! :-)
