This recipe rocks. I seed the scotch bonnets to make them tolerable for the wife. Still good heat and incredible flavor. Once you try this, you will never go back to that store bought crap.

Great sauce, my mom loves jerk chicken and when I made the chicken in this sauce, she swore it tasted just like we flew the chicken in from Jamaca!- Thanks!

Now THIS is authentic. However, if you want a truly HOT sauce, substitute Habenero for Scotch Bonnet peppers. Or go medium with Jalapeno.
