Jerk Chicken

My FH and I LOVE spicy food, but whenever we order jerk chicken in restaurants, it's never quite as spicy as we like it. My cousin's wife makes AWESOME jerk chicken, but her recipe is an old family secret, so she won't give it to me! I've tried making it myself, but I can't get it right.

Anyone have a good SPICY one?
