Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces in a ziplock bag or a casserole dish with a lid. Pour the jerk sauce over the chicken and massage to fully coat them. Refrigerate overnight, 8-12 hours. Don't shorten the marinating time.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F.Lay the chicken pieces on a lined baking sheet with a good amount of sauce on them. Space the pieces about an inch apart. Pour the remaining sauce into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. You can use this sauce both for basting while the chicken cooks and for serving at the table. Bake the chicken for 35-45 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165-170 F. Turn the chicken over at the halfway point and then turn it over again at the end before broiling. At the end turn the oven on to broil for a few minutes to roast the chicken until nicely browned. Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.If using a grill: Preheat to about 400 F. Rub the grates with oil and grill the chicken until cooked through (internal temp should be 165-170 F), turning the chicken occasionally, about 30-40 minutes.

• The next day, season the chicken with seasoned salt..I use the Grace all purpose seasoning. Bake for 1.5 hrs 350 degrees..you can use thighs, breasts, wings, legs,etc.
