The first thing that comes to mind is Jerk Chicken. Pretty easy and delish. Here's a recipe for ya':

2 teaspoons ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
5 cloves garlic
2 habanero peppers
1 (5-pound) chicken, skin on, cut into 10 pieces
1 cup lime juice

Combine all ingredients except the chicken and lime juice in a food processor and puree until pretty smooth. Place the chicken and lime juice in a mixing bowl and pour about half of the jerk sauce over it, tossing the chicken around to coat it well. Place in a container and pour the remaining sauce on top of chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (if possible).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the chicken pieces from the jerk marinade and place them, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet or dish. Bake in the oven for 45 to 55 minutes until cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

i bet you could find a kickbutt one on foodnetwork.com,they have all kinds of outrageous recipes there.

why don't you get some Jerk seasoning?

Jerk it.

Get a small jar of whole allspice berries, toast 'em and then grind 'em fine. Put the powder in a food processor and add 2 bunches of green onions, 5 - 6 cloves garlic, 2 habeneros, 1/2C brown sugar, 1T thyme, 1t cinammon, 1/2 t nutmeg and a pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper. Start grinding it all up and drizzle in enough soy sauce to loosen it up.

This stuff is a great marinade for chicken, pork or my personal favourite, New York strip steaks--the big thick ones--and it keeps in the refrigerator for weeks.

Marinate the chicken pieces for at least 4 hours in enough of the above mixture to coat them. Then grill away.

that jerk chicken recipe works well w/ pork also
