Add the chicken breasts, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, longer if possible.

Preheat an outdoor grill. Remove the breasts from the marinade and grill for 6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. While grilling, baste with the marinade. Heat the leftover marinade and serve on the side for dipping.

NOTE: This recipe is not as hot as you would find in Jamaica. For that authentic flavor, double the quantity of dry spices.
