Step by Step Method
Step 1
To make the marinade: in a saucepan combine 1 quart of the water with 1/2 tablespoon of the Jamaican jerk spices, ginger and the garlic. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. remove from heat and let cool. Stir in pineapple juice and the oil. Transfer mixture to a bowl or large plastic bag and add the chicken. Cover or seal and refrigerate for 4 hours.
Step 2
To make the glaze: place the remaining ingredients (tamarind paste - hot sauce) in a food processor or blender (I used a blender) and puree until smooth. (this makes a lot of glaze, but the remainder will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks)
Step 3
To bake the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 4
Remove chicken from the marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken in a large shallow baking pan (this chicken can also be grilled). Bake for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is done; brushing twice with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
