    Rub the chicken with lime and salt. Rub jerk seasoning over chicken halves. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight for the best results.

  • 3

    Preheat a barbecue grill to medium high.

  • 4

    If using, spread the pimento leaves on the grill.

    Barbecue should be on medium-low heat. Grill the chicken for about 45 minutes, turning often to optimize cooking and browning.

    Alternatively, you may use your home oven, heated to 375 degrees F., but do not use pimento leaves.

    Let chicken sit for 10 minutes before cutting into quarters.
