1/2 cupjerk seasoning paste
1scotch bonnet chili (to taste)

Marinate the chicken in jerk paste for at least 4 hours, and ideally overnight, since real jerk flavour depends on giving the spices time to actually penetrate the meat.

Grill or bake the chicken until it is properly charred on the outside and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
3
Turn the chicken occasionally for even colour as it cooks.
4
Rest the chicken for a few minutes before serving alongside rice and peas.
