• 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)

• Place the chicken pieces in a ziplock bag or a casserole dish with a lid. Pour the jerk sauce over the chicken and massage to fully coat them. Refrigerate overnight, 8-12 hours. Don't shorten the marinating time.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F.Lay the chicken pieces on a lined baking sheet with a good amount of sauce on them. Space the pieces about an inch apart. Pour the remaining sauce into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. You can use this sauce both for basting while the chicken cooks and for serving at the table. Bake the chicken for 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165-170 F. Turn the chicken over at the halfway point and then turn it over again at the end before broiling. At the end turn the oven on to broil for a few minutes to roast the chicken until nicely browned. Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.If using a grill: Preheat to about 400 F. Rub the grates with oil and grill the chicken until cooked through (internal temp should be 165-170 F), turning the chicken occasionally, about 30-40 minutes.

JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Begin by massaging chicken with the red palm oil, making sure every surface is coated.
• Place the allspice into a mortar and pulverize it; then place the thyme into the mortar and do the same. (You may use an electric coffee grinder or a food processor for this step, however your grinder should be one only used for spices otherwise the quality of your coffee may suffer.)
• Finely mince the garlic, onion, and pepper if you like it hot, then combine with the allspice and thyme. To minimize the heat remove the pith before mincing - it is the white rib of peppers not the seeds that are the hottest.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients and slather 1½ Tablespoons of the mixture over the chicken, turning it over to coat the underside as well. Set aside any remaining sauce in a covered container and refrigerate.
• Place the chicken in a glass baking dish, cover with plastic wrap (you may also use a sealable, gallon size plastic storage bag) and place into the refrigerator overnight.
• The next day, remove the baking dish with the chicken from the refrigerator approximately 45 minutes before cooking to allow the meat to reach room temperature. You can either bake or grill the chicken.
