Dad#2 loves this chicken and I have to share his version of an island favorite. It is a staple on the buffet table for the winter ball players. He says the chickens are scrawny on the island and he prefers using just chicken thighs. Read more It isn't as hot as a jerk but has extra gooey goodness from the baked on chutney. It is served with rice and green peas. See less
