JERK CHICKEN 
4 lbs. chicken legs, thighs or breast
3 tbsp. prepared jerk seasoning or to taste

Skin, clean and chop chicken into about 4 inch pieces. Rinse, drain and pat dry with paper towels. Place meat in a bowl. Mix or rub the jerk seasoning into the chicken. Cover and let marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator. Place chicken pieces in roasting pan and bake, covered at 350 degrees, turning chicken halfway through cooking time, until chicken is done, about 45 minutes (note - if skinned chicken is left on the bone, it can be charcoaled, grilled slowly if turned frequently, over medium-low flame or even started on the grill and finished in the oven).

Just before removing chicken from oven, mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of jerk seasoning with some of the juices in the pan. Spoon over cooked chicken and serve hot with Jamaican bread or bread of your choice or rice.
