Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups water , plus
  • 2 tsp jamaican jerk spice, plus (or use my recipe for jamaican spice mixture or other spice mixtures)
  • 1/2 tsp jamaican jerk spice
  • 2 tsp gingerroot, chopped
  • 1/2 cup peanut oil
  • 3 tbsp cider vinegar , plus
  • 4 tbsp molasses
  • 1/2 tsp louisiana hot sauce or 1/2 tsp hot sauce

Directions:

  1. In a large saucepan combine the water with 1/2 teaspoon of the Jamaican spices (or use my recipe for Jamaican Spice Mixture Jamaican Spice Mixture, ginger and garlic and cook over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and let cool before proceeding.
  2. Add the pineapple juice and oil to the cooled liquid, mix well to combine.
  3. Transfer the liquid to a large bowl and add the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
  4. Place remaining ingredients (the rest of the Jamaican spices (2 teaspoons) - hot sauce plus 1/4 cup water) in a blender and puree until smooth for the glaze. There will be most likely be extra glaze, but it can be refrigerated for another use. It can be refrigerated for about a week or so.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  6. Remove chicken from marinade, and place chicken in a large baking pan. Discard marinade.
  7. Bake chicken for 40-60 minutes or until done, brushing on glaze occasionally during the last 5-10 minutes of baking.
  8. *Instead of baking chicken the chicken can also be grilled (about 20-30 minutes or until done) brushing on the glaze after the chicken starts to brown.
