  1. Jerk chicken 1) For the Jerk paste: Pulse the vinegar, rum, brown sugar, spring onions, garlic, chilli, Pickapeppa or other sauce, ginger, allspice and mixed spice in a food processor to make a slightly chunky sauce.

  2. Heat the oil in a medium skillet and cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, until the oil is absorbed and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 mins. Cool.

  3. Rub the jerk paste all over the chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hrs.

  4. Heat the barbecue to medium-high. Cook the chicken, skin side down, over direct heat and cook for about 35 to 40 mins, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork. Let the chicken rest for about 5 mins, then serve |Cook's Note: Pickapeppa,the celebrated Jamaican bottled sauce. is a blend of tomatoes, onions, sugar, cane vinegar, mangoes, raisins, tamarind, peppers, and spices. Fans use this "Jamaican ketchup" on all manner of grilled foods. It adds a distinct punch to this version of the island's spicy jerk marinade.
