When you cannot be bothered to cook on a Sunday. The easiest thing to prepare is a whole chicken in the oven; and what better way to prepare it than something Jamaican ( the flavors, the spice and overall niceness) what can be better than that…and as a girl who grow with her granny we done cook from midday 🥳🥳🥳
Jamaican cuisine is renowned for its colorful flavors and rich history. If you're looking for a flavorful twist on your classic chicken dishes, using guava jam adds a unique sweetness that balances well with the spicy flavors typical of Jamaican cooking.

This recipe not only offers an easy way to cook a tender, flavorful chicken but also celebrates the essence of Jamaican cooking, bringing warmth and joy to your dining table.
