Traditionally Rice 'n' Peas are NOT served with Curried Goat for this you use plain boiled rice.

your have to boil the rice and beans together and if it was jerk chicken you can go to any store and buy jerk sauce. once you have the sauce marinate the chicken with it for about 30min-1hour and then bake it (not too sure how long)
and enjoy!
