3. Marinate the chicken:
4. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

5. COOKING - Grill Method:

6. Grilling (Recommended for Authentic Flavor):

7. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

10. Preheat oven to 400°F.
11. Place chicken on a baking rack over a foil-lined sheet.
12. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping once, until cooked through and golden brown. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra char.
13. Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions and lime wedges. Serve with rice & peas, grilled plantains, or a crisp slaw.
