Deep, earthy flavors in this winning mid-week jerk chicken recipe. I love this spicy mix on drumsticks, but you can use any chicken cut you want: wings will be a treat, although they may require less time in the oven; and if you are on a calorie-restricted diet, this spice-mix will be great on skinless chicken breasts. If you are cooking for the kids, adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper accordingly.

Notes

Important: Be mindful when working with raw chicken. Use dedicated chopping boards and wash your hands and all utensils very well afterward. The chicken should be done after 30-35 minutes in the oven at 350°F, but a good way to check is to pierce a piece and watch the juices that run – they should be clear. If you are still in doubt, simply cut into a piece closest to the bone and have a quick peek – there should be no pink.
