A tantalizing spice mix gives this grilled chicken great Caribbean flare. Sauce is sweet and just a little spicy.

Method

Combine all BBQ sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Simmer slowly 45-60 minutes to yield abut 1/2 cup. Combine Island Jerk seasoning ingredients and mix well. Rub chicken liberally with Island Jerk seasoning. Let stand in refrigerator about 1 hour. Place chicken pieces on grill about 6 inches from medium coals. Cover and cook about 40 minutes, turning occasionally. Brush chicken with BBQ sauce and grill an additional 20 minutes or until cooked through. Serve remaining sauce in a separate dish.

 

Notes: If the basting brush for the chicken touched the remaining sauce, make sure you bring sauce to a low simmer prior to serving to prevent illness.
