How to Make Jamaican Baste
- Heat 1 Aussie tbsp (4 tsp) of oil in a small frypan over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1-2 Scotch bonnet chilies (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference).
- Cook, stirring frequently, for approximately 10 minutes, or until the onion is softened and just beginning to brown.
- Stir in 2 Aussie tbsp (8 tsp) soy sauce, 1 Aussie tbsp (4 tsp) brown sugar, 1 Aussie tbsp (4 tsp) lime juice, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp ground allspice, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Marinate 4 chicken breast fillets (or 8 drumsticks) in the baste for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, covered and refrigerated.
- Preheat your grill, oven, or frypan to medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken until fully cooked through and juices run clear (approximately 15-20 minutes depending on the cooking method). Baste frequently with the remaining sauce during cooking.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh lime wedges and extra chili flakes (optional).
