But that is pure Julie.

FYI, Julie, jerk chicken is a spicy-to-mild seasoning combination of
onion, garlic, hot peppers, black pepper and salt with some sweet
spices - usually a combo of allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon - mixed in. The
seasoning is usually used in a marinade made from fresh fruit juices -
usually lime and orange (though some people add some soy sauce, and
might replace the lime juice with vinegar). The chicken is then grilled.

It is ****ing outstanding. I once made a whole jerk chicken smoked
over orange wood chips, and also smoked a Boston butt for pulled pork.
I had the chicken on a platter waiting for disjointing while I was
pulling the pork. The chicken smelled fabulous - too fabulous, it
turned out. My dinner guests took advantage of my back to the chicken
and didn't bother to wait for dinner to be served. When I turned
around with the pork, naught was left of the chicken but a pile of
bones. I exclaimed, "HEY!" My guests smiled nervously. Dammit, they
hadn't left any of it for me.
