Preparation

Place chicken in a large freezer bag or roasting pan. Pour lime juice over the chicken. Add the jerk seasoning, coating well. Seal the bag or cover the chicken in the pan with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes. Overnight marinating is recommended.
Remove chicken from the marinade bag or pan.
Put the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to use as a basting sauce for the chicken. Reserve some of the "safe" marinade (boiling 10 minutes kills bacteria)if desired.
Cook the chicken. OVEN METHOD: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place chicken in a rimmed baking pan, skin side up. Roast until cooked through, about 45 minutes. The chicken is done when the juices run clear (not pink) when a knife tip is inserted into both the chicken breast and thigh, about 165-170°F for the breast and 180-185°F for the thigh. FLAVORWAVE METHOD: Place chicken on bottom rack of Flavorwave/NuWave. Cook at 300°F until cooked through, about 45 minutes. The chicken is done when the juices run clear.(not pink) when a knife tip is inserted into both the chicken breast and thigh, about 165-170°F for the breast and 180-185°F for the thigh.
