Directions
MAKE THE BBQ SAUCE
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes. Makes approximately 2 cups. Refrigerate unused portion.
MAKE THE CHICKEN
- Season the chicken generously with kosher salt and pepper.
- Thin 1 cup of BBQ sauce with ½ cup of water and set aside.
- Pre-heat gas grill to 350˚F. If using a coal grill, build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium, you are ready to cook. This could take up to 20 minutes. Remember slow and low is best.
- For the coal grill: place the chicken pieces on the hot side of the grill and baste with the thinned BBQ sauce. When the chicken skin starts to crisp and darken move the pieces to the cooler side of the grill and turn. Baste again and let them cook for 20-30 minutes more. Remove from the grill when the internal temps are 160+ and the juices run clear.
- For the gas grill: place the chicken pieces on the grill and baste with the thinned BBQ sauce. Cook for 7-10 minutes, then baste and turn the burners down to low. Cook turning and basting occasionally for 30 minutes. Remove from the grill when the internal temps are 160+ and the juices run clear.

Sam’s Jamaican Jerk Chicken
When I have the time and only on a weekend, I love to make my Jerk Chicken recipe. From I was a child I would watch my mom make this delicious traditional Jamaican dish. It’s easy and definitely a labor of love that she made only in the summer when she could slow cook it outside on a charcoal grill, on low. She would make pounds of it for backyard BBQ’s and family events. Our whole neighborhood would have this amazing smell wafting through the streets.
