NO-FUSS JERK CHICKEN
Jerk chicken - spicy and grilled - is a dish for which Jamaica is justly famous, though it is made across the Caribbean basin and has been for more than 400 years. The pungent marinade includes lots of allspice (called pimento in the islands), black pepper and clove, but gets an even bigger kick from ultra-spicy yellow Scotch bonnet peppers, similar in shape and intensity to habanero chiles. You can certainly grill it in the island manner. But this easy recipe puts the chicken in the oven instead, which fills the kitchen with intoxicating flavors. Vacation on a plate.

Steps:
- Put allspice, thyme, garlic, chiles, scallions, peppercorns, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, soy sauce and lime juice in a blender or food processor and grind to a rough paste.
- Put chicken in a baking dish, add seasoning paste and coat chicken well, using a spoon. Cover and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and bring chicken to room temperature. Turn chicken once more in marinade to coat well, then put baking dish in the oven, uncovered. Bake for 1 hour or until well browned and juices run clear when probed with a paring knife. Put dish under the broiler for a minute or so to char chicken slightly. Remove and serve with coconut rice, if desired.

SMOKY AND SPICY JERK-MARINATED CHICKEN
This recipe started as a mistake when I was trying to make another recipe I found on here called 'Delectable Marinated Chicken.' While at the store I accidentally bought 'Caribbean Jerk Marinade' instead of teriyaki sauce and rather than go back to the store, I decided to wing it and see what happens. I ended up liking the results enough that I decided to replace the store-bought sauce with a jerk spice mixture, and this recipe was born.

Steps:
- Mix brown sugar, salt, sesame seeds, black pepper, red pepper flakes, chili powder, thyme, coriander, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves together in a bowl.
- Mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, molasses, and liquid smoke together in a separate bowl. Combine with the spice blend to make the marinade.
- Remove tenderloins from chicken breasts and cut the rest of the breasts in half. Reserve about 1/4 of the rub; coat chicken with the remainder and marinate 4 hours to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill marinated chicken pieces over direct heat until no longer pink in the centers, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with reserved marinade.
