For a deeper, more complex flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the marinade.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount to 1/8 teaspoon, or omit it altogether.
For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels before placing them in the baking dish.
Serve with rice and peas, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Leftover baked jerk chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I've tried many jerk chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The baking method ensures the chicken stays moist, and the broiling step gives it a nice crispy skin.

  • Gennaro Kirlin

    This recipe is fantastic! The spice blend is perfect, and the chicken came out so juicy and flavorful.
