Step 1

Chop the onions, garlic and peppers. These do not need to be chopped too fine as they will be liquidised by the blender.

Step 2

Making the marinade Blend all of the ingredients (excluding the chicken) in a blender to make the jerk sauce.

Step 3

Cutting the raw chicken Cut the chicken up in to 4 pieces.

Step 4

Preparing the meat Rub the sauce in to the meat, saving some for basting and dipping later.

Step 5

Leave the chicken in the fridge to marinade overnight.

Step 6

Cooking the chicken Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turn the meat then bake for a further 30 minutes. 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).
