Many years back, I did a whole article on jerk. I hate that we have so much trouble with the archive. I'll see if I can locate it.

This isn't mine, but it is a reasonable facsimile. You can always start with a little pepper and add it to your taste. One warning: "Hot in, hot coming out."
Jerk Chicken 8-10 Chicken legs 10-12 Scotch bonnet pepper or Habanero You can't back off on this ingredient or switch to a milder pepper. This gives it heat but it also is the main flavor of the paste. 2 bunches of green onion 2-3 thyme springs you'll need to run your fingers down the sprig to remove the small leaves ginger about a heaping teaspoon when graded garlic 3-5 cloves depending on your liking Citrus and Vinegar Its more of a good squeeze of each half then ringing out all the juices. 1/2 lemon 1/2 lime 1/2 orange 1/2 cup vinegar Allspice. About 45 berries ground in the spice mill. Cinnamon. About an 1/8 of a teaspoon. 1 tablespoon of brown sugar it just rounds out the flavors a bit pepper A few good grinds from your pepper mill about 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1-2 tablespoons salt It needs to be fairly salty. This is hard to gauge as you need to taste the mixture and it is blazing hot. If you have ever tasted a commercial jerk sauce straight up you'll notice that it's very salty. Mix all the ingredient in a blender or with a hand blender to make a paste. Make slashes both sides of the chicken and pour 3/4 of the mixture over the meat and marinade over night. I like to cook the chicken indirectly and then finish it off over direct coals. Use the remaining jerk paste and mix it with half a beer and baste the chicken pieces as they cook.

Thanks BigO! That looks pretty damn good. I love heat in my food and am not scared of scotch bonnet peppers! I'll let you know how it goes!
