• 2 tsp black pepper
• ½ cup olive oil (optional)

Preparation

1. Ensure that chicken is properly thawed, cleaned and wash with vinegar or lime.

   By the way, you get the prepared jerk seasoning at most supermarkets that shelve Jamaican or Caribbean groceries - Walkers Wood Jerk Seasoning is a popular choice. That way you only need to rub it on the chicken!
