5. Cooking Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turn the meat then bake for a further 30 minutes. - -  or - -  Grill the meat slowly until cooked, turning regularly. Baste with some of the remaining marinade whilst cooking. For best results, cook over a charcoal barbeque (ideally over a rack of pimento wood).
6. Side Note: What locals wont tell you is this, using charcole (They sell Jamaican Charcole) and grilling it is sooo much better and the cherry is pouring some red stripe Jamaican Beer over the chicken while grilling … it'll make you want to smack the cook
7. Chop each quarter chicken portion in to 5 or 6 smaller pieces using a heavy cleaver.
8. Use a wooden spoon (or something similar) to hold the chicken in place whilst chopping and NOT YOUR HAND (you will be chopping with enough pressure to cut through bone!!!)
