- 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)
