Tim made the Jerk Chicken recipe recently for a group, and it was delectable! Grilled was better than baked, but baked was stll pretty awesome. Because it's a Jamaican recipe, Tim had me make the festival [bread] to go with it, which everyone also enjoyed muchly.
A warning about the chicken though: When it was baked, it infused the oven with its scent, which is now making my cookies taste weird. (Although apparently I'm the only one who can taste anything odd...)
