Jamaican Jerk Chicken

This method of cooking pork & chicken dates back to the Carib-Arawak Indians who inhabited Jamaica. After capturing an animal & thoroughly cleaning & gutting it, the Indians placed it in a deep pit lined with stones & covered with green wood, which, when burned, would smoke heavily & add to the flavor. But first, the carcass was "jerked" with a sharp object to make holes, which were stuffed with a variety of spices. The holes also allowed heat to escape without loss of moisture. The results were superb. The meat was not only wonderfully spiced, but moist & tender.

Warning: This is HOT, so if you're not a huge chilli nut, reduce or remove the amount of fresh chilli you use.
