Steps:

• 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.

• Slit the chicken skin with a sharp knife, then put into a container. Pour over the jerk marinade, making sure the chicken is completely covered. You may not need all the marinade. Cover the chicken and place in the fridge for at least 4 hrs, but ideally 24 hrs.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the chicken in an ovenproof dish, cover with foil and cook for 30-45 mins. Remove the foil and baste the chicken with the juices from the dish, then cook for a further 10 mins. The skin should start to crisp up. Check the meat is cooked by cutting into the deepest part of the chicken. If the juices run out red, return to the oven for 10 mins more, or until the juices run clear.
