Jerked meat is one of the Caribbean's most famous spicy dishes. There are 
few tendencies which give Jamaican food its characteristic flavor, but 
one of the main things is the preponderance of the allspice berry among 
the spices used as a paste-type marinade.

Title: Jamaican Jerked Chicken
Keywords: pork, chicken, Jamaican
 
      6    loin pork chops
      3    chicken breasts, split
      6    chicken legs (2 oz)
           whole allspice berries
    1/4 ts fresh grated nutmeg
    1/2 ts ground cinnamon
      8    scallions, chopped
      1 lg clove garlic, chopped
      1 ts hot pepper, chopped
      3 T  red-wine vinegar
    1/4 c  peanut or vegetable oil
    1/2 ts salt
    1/4 ts fresh ground pepper
      2    bay leaves, crumbled
           Pickapeppa sauce (see note)
 
  Cut away rind and most fat from pork; remove all meat from bones, cut 
  into pieces about 1-1/2" thick and 3" to 4" long.  Put pork pieces and 
  chicken in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until needed. To prepare 
  seasoning, heat the allspice berries over medium heat in small saucepan 
  3 to 4 min, stirring often; 2 tbs at a time, crush berries in mortar and 
  pestle.  In medium bowl, combine berries, nutmeg, cinnamon, scallions, 
  garlic, pepper and 1 tbs vinegar; crush into pasty mixture.  Add rest of 
  vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Turn mixture over pork and 
  chicken and rub meat with seasoning, coating evenly. Cover and refrig-
  erate 2 hours or overnight. Cook jerked pork and chicken on grill over 
  hot coals or on gas barbecue as far from heat as possible (6" or more); 
  cover with lid; turn meat every 10 minutes for about 1 hour, until done.  
  If desired, halfway through cooking time toss 1 tsp whole allspice 
  berries into fire.  Cut cooked pork into 1/3" slices and serve with 
  chicken. Accompany with Pickapeppa sauce.  Serves 6 to 8. 

  (Note:  Can also be cooked in preheated 350 F oven on rack in roasting 
  pan about 1 hour, turning once, but you won't have the grill flavor. 

  (Pickapeppa sauce is a bottled Jamaican condiment available in better 
  supermarkets and gourmet stores.)
