BAJAN FRIED CHICKEN
Natives of Barbados (who call themselves Bajans) love this fried chicken with fiery spices. It is a version of "seasoning up" as it's called on many islands. You might even prefer to refrigerate the chicken with the spices for an hour or two, to let the flavors really take hold. From "Caribbean Cooking" by John DeMers.

BAKED CHICKEN BAJAN STYLE
"It is difficult to travel abroad without picking up an idea or two about cooking," Pierre Franey opened his 1982 column that featured this recipe. Spicy from hot red-pepper flakes and crisp from a mix of oil and seasoned flour, this chicken dish is inspired by a chef cooking at a Barbados restaurant. One guest, he wrote, "mistakenly assumed that the chicken had been deep-fried Southern style." Instead, it was baked, as it is here, yielding a crisp skin without nearly as much oil.
