Tips
Tip1. I have given the slow cook original jerking method, if you wish just to add the Jamaican flavour to your dish, but not the hassle than leave out the wood chips, cook your chicken as normal on the barbecue, but ensure it is cooked all the way through. Alternatively, pre-bake it for 45 minutes in the oven and then grill it on the barbecue to be on the safe side. Tip2. To save you even more time, the marinate can be done in the food processor, saves you all the chopping and is safer to handle those hot chilies.

- JERK MARINADE
- 3 bunches Spring onion, finely chopped
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 Scotch bonnet peppers, seeded, minced
- 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 2 tbl Ground Allspice (Pimento)
- 2 tbl Black Pepper, ground
- 1 ½ tbl Salt
- CHICKEN
- 2.5kg Chicken Thighs and Legs
- or
- 2 whole Chickens, quartered

Method
- 1. Combine all of the ingredients except the chicken in a large bowl. Add a bit of water to form a loose paste.
- 2. Reserve 100ml of the sauce for later use.
- 3. Marinate the chicken in the remaining sauce for at least 1 hour or as long as 24 hours (the longer the better). Turn the meat several times, mixing the sauce.
- For the barbecue:
- Now when it comes to 'jerking', its an art form! But please read the tips:
- 4.Prepare the barbecue outdoors with plenty of coals. When the coals become grey and well ashed over, add the soaked wood to the fire.
- 5. Add the chicken on the grill of the barbecue and cover, leaving the vent holes open. Barbecue slowly for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
- 6. Check the fire after 30 minutes, adding coal or wood as needed and being careful not to 'flame' the fire.
- 7. Baste the chicken every 30 minutes with the remaining marinate.
- 8. Turn the chicken several times as it cooks. The chicken is done when its firm to the touch and slightly charred.
- 9. Once the chicken is cooked take it from the fire and let it sit for 15 minutes.
