Method

Squeeze the lime or lemon juice into a bowl of water and rinse the chicken. Pat dry. Rub the jerk seasoning all over the chicken and leave to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour or overnight.
Light the barbecue and get it so the coals are covered with a layer of white ash. Brush the chicken and the grill with oil. Cook the chicken over a medium heat for about 20 m
