Grilled chicken marinated in a spicy sauce that is traditionally served in Jamaica. The poultry is seasoned with a jerk sauce or marinade that combines allspice, cinnamon, chiles, garlic, thyme, onion, nutmeg, lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Since this sauce burns quickly and easily on the grill, the chicken is slowly cooked to let the flavors of the sauce penetrate into the meat and to help the meat retain moisture.
