Slice onions and add them to the chicken along with thyme and garlic.

Mix all the ingredients together, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

Add some jerk sauce underneath the chicken skin for flavor.

Add a bit of soy sauce for color, being cautious of the saltiness.

Marinate the chicken for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Place the marinated chicken in a roasting tin and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cook the chicken for about 1 hour, checking for doneness.

Brush the chicken generously with the barbecue sauce.

Set the oven to broil and cook the chicken on high, flipping and adding more sauce as needed.
