Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken with half of the onion, garlic, fresh thyme, allspice, ginger, Scotch Bonnet pepper, dark soy sauce, browning (or ketchup), granulated sugar, all-purpose seasoning, jerk powder seasoning, chicken seasoning, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Add a little oil to the bowl. Mix well and massage the seasonings over the chicken thoroughly.
  3. Leave the marinated chicken to rest for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  4. Preheat your oven to 180°C (or 350°F).
  5. Brush a baking pan with oil, then place the seasoned chicken inside.
  6. Add over 1 tablespoon of water to the bowl used for marinating and pour it into the pan around the chicken.
  7. Bake the chicken in the oven for at least 40 minutes.
  8. While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce: In a pot, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the remaining onion and garlic and sauté for about 20 seconds.
  9. Add the reserved seasonings (all spices/seasonings used on the chicken), 1 cup of water, ginger, fresh thyme, allspice, dark soy sauce, tomato ketchup, and sugar to the pot.
  10. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and allow it to simmer until the sauce thickens.
  11. Remove the baked chicken from the oven. Pour some of the liquid/juices from the bottom of the pan over the chicken to keep it moist.
  12. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken.
  13. Return the chicken to the oven for at least 10 minutes until heated through and the sauce is sticky.
