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