- seeded and minced
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- with a metal blade. Process for 10 to 15 seconds at high speed.
- Place the chicken in a bowl and pour the marinade over it.
- Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
-
- Preheat grill until coals are gray to white.
-
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain off any excess
- liquid. Place on the oiled grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes

- Alt:
- Jerk chicken can also be baked in the oven. Pour the jerk marinade
- over chicken pieces (4 drum, 4 thigh) and refrigerate for 4 to 6
- hours, turning after 3 hours. Remove the chicken pieces and place
- on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until
- meat pulls easily away from the bone. Bake 30 to 40 minutes if
- using chicken breast strips.
