Answer 2

The first thing that comes to mind is Jerk Chicken.  Pretty easy and delish.  Here's a recipe for ya':

2 teaspoons ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cups chopped onions

5 cloves garlic

2 habanero peppers

1 (5-pound) chicken, skin on, cut into 10 pieces

1 cup lime juice

Combine all ingredients except the chicken and lime juice in a food processor and puree until pretty smooth. Place the chicken and lime juice in a mixing bowl and pour about half of the jerk sauce over it, tossing the chicken around to coat it well. Place in a container and pour the remaining sauce on top of chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (if possible).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the chicken pieces from the jerk marinade and place them, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet or dish. Bake in the oven for 45 to 55 minutes until cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

Answer 3

Jerk it.

Get a small jar of whole allspice berries, toast 'em and then grind 'em fine.  Put the powder in a food processor and add 2 bunches of green onions, 5 - 6 cloves garlic, 2 habeneros, 1/2C brown sugar, 1T thyme, 1t cinammon, 1/2 t nutmeg and a pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper.  Start grinding it all up and drizzle in enough soy sauce to loosen it up.

This stuff is a great marinade for chicken, pork or my personal favourite, New York strip steaks--the big thick ones--and it keeps in the refrigerator for weeks.  

Marinate the chicken pieces for at least 4 hours in enough of the above mixture to coat them.  Then grill away.

Answer 4

why don't you get some Jerk seasoning?
