Welcome to Henry's Kitchen, today we're making Jamaican jerk chicken.

Start with the chicken, clean it by removing tendons and excess fat using a knife.

Wash the chicken with vinegar and water to cut the rawness and ensure it's clean.

Rinse the chicken again to remove the vinegar smell.

Prepare the dry rub by crushing pimento and mixing it with roasted garlic, pepper, seasoned salt, all-purpose seasoning, jerk seasoning, oregano, and onion powder.

Massage the dry rub into the chicken and set it aside.

Make the wet rub by blending onion, green onion, garlic, thyme, ground pimento, seasoned salt, onion powder, and a little browning with some water in a blender.

Add the wet rub to the chicken and rub it in thoroughly for flavor.

Prepare the barbecue and light it up.

Place the chicken on the barbecue and close the lid, checking occasionally for color.

Boil the remaining marinade to use as a dip for the chicken later.

Dip the chicken in the boiled marinade to absorb more flavor before serving.
