This spicy chicken dish will take you right back to islands! The heat of the jerk seasoning is complemented by the fresh, light flavors in the rice dish, served cold. Chill some Red Stripe or throw some rum in the blender and you've got the perfect simple barbeque! The jerk seasoning (minus the brown sugar) can be doubled and the excess stored in an airtight jar for another use.
