Jerk seasoning is a sweet and spicy blend of allspice, chili peppers (preferably scotch bonnet), fresh ginger, and a hint of brown sugar. Start marinating the chicken the day before for maximum flavor. Cooking on the grill adds a nice smoky flavor, but you could also bake the chicken in the oven.
Place all ingredients except chicken in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Place chicken and blended mixture in a dish or large zip-top bag. Seal and refrigerate to marinate for 3 to 24 hours.
Remove chicken from the container and discard remaining marinade.
Heat a grill on medium-high heat. Oil the grill rack, then add chicken and cook on each side for about 10 to 12 minutes. Chicken should reach 165° F before removing from the grill.
