Clean the Chicken
Cut the 2 limes in halves, rub the entire Chicken with the lime halves, squeezing the limes as you do to impart the juice onto the chicken.
Combine all of the ingredients from the oil to the rum into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Rub the blended Marinade under the skin, then refrigerate the chicken overnight.
To Cook In The Oven:
Place Chicken on a Roasting Pan.
In a piece of foil, ad the pimento sticks, chips, or leaves and fold the foil into a packet.
Poke slits in the packet to allow the smoke to infuse the chicken and place the packet under the chicken in the bottom of the roasting pan.
Cook low and slow at 250-275 degrees 2.5-3 hours until juices run clear.
Use a meat thermometer to assure that meat is thoroughly cooked to 165 degrees F.
To Cook on the Grill:
Prepare your grill. Charcoal or gas will work just fine.
Soak Chips in water for at least 20 min.
Soak Leaves in water for 20 minutes
Soak Sticks in water for at least 20 min.
Use the offset cooking technique: Heat on one side of the grill and the meat on the other, that is the most important step to great Jerk grilling.
Wrap Chips in foil
Poke small hole for smoke to escape
Place directly on coals or on Gas burner or you can use a smoker box
Make a bed of leaves on the cool side of the grill
Place sticks on top of leaves
Place meat on sticks
More leaves can be put in a pan of water over heat
Cook 275 for 2.5 to 3 hours - Let’er smoke
Baste with Red Stripe Beer
Add another hand full of chips after 2 hours
Continue to cook until juices run clear.
