If you like your food hot then you can't beat this Jerk marinade. Adjust the amount of chilli's to suit your taste. It is ideal for most meats but work especially well with chicken. If you are using legs or thighs then score them with a knife to allow the marinade to penetrate. I like to cut thin strips of chicken breast, marinade it then thread onto skewers.
