"This chicken was *divine*. As suggested in the recipe I doubled the dry spices. I also used chicken thighs instead of breasts. The chicken had a nice kick but not so much that it hurt. Instead of grilling, I baked it at 350 degrees for an hour, then before serving I basted it again with the marinate and put it under the broiler for a few minutes. It was nicely charred on the outside and tender juicy inside. I served it with rice and beans and a mango salsa. Our guests couldn't get enough. This recipe is a keeper." - fuchsrYield: 4 Ready in 1 hours

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Preparation
In a large bowl, combine the allspice, thyme, cayenne pep- per, black pepper, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, garlic powder and sugar. With a wire whisk, slowly add the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, and lime juice. Add the Scotch bonnet pepper,. onion, and green onions and mix well. Add the chicken breasts, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, longer if possible. Preheat an outdoor grill. Remove the breasts from the marinade and grill for 6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. While grilling, baste with the marinade. Heat the leftover marinade and serve on the side for dipping. NOTE: This is the recipe as listed in the cookbook. Per- sonally, I would NEVER heat the leftover marinade and serve on the side for dipping, especially something that you had marinated POULTRY in. A MUCH better idea would be to reserve some of the marinade (BEFORE you put the chicken in it) and save it for serving. This recipe is also from Sugar Reef Caribbean Cooking by Devra Dedeaux. "This recipe is not as hot as you would find in Jamaica. For that authentic flavor, double the quantity of dry spices."
