Steps
- 1
Chop the onions, garlic and peppers. These do not need to be chopped too fine as they will be liquidised by the blender.
- 2
Blend all of the ingredients (excluding the chicken) in a blender to make the jerk sauce.
- 3
Cut the chicken up in to 4 pieces.
- 4
Rub the sauce in to the meat, saving some for basting and dipping later.
Leave the chicken in the fridge to marinade overnight. - 5
Cooking Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turn the meat then bake for a further 30 minutes.
or
Grill the meat slowly until cooked, turning regularly. Baste with some of the remaining marinade whilst cooking. For best results, cook over a charcoal barbeque (ideally over a rack of pimento wood).

Side Note: What locals wont tell you is this, using charcole (They sell Jamaican Charcole) and grilling it is sooo much better and the cherry is pouring some red stripe Jamaican Beer over the chicken while grilling ... it'll make you want to smack the cook
- 7
Chop each quarter chicken portion in to 5 or 6 smaller pieces using a heavy cleaver.
- 8
Use a wooden spoon (or something similar) to hold the chicken in place whilst chopping and NOT YOUR HAND (you will be chopping with enough pressure to cut through bone!!!)
- 9
Serve with festival and salad or rice and peas or hardo bread and the jerk sauce left over for dipping.
