Adapted from Enid Donaldson's book "The Real Taste of Jamaica." Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut whole breasts into 4 pieces. Tuck wing tips behind first joint to form a triangle. Save back, neck and giblets for another use or make stock from them to use in recipe.
In a bowl, mix garlic, green onion, salt, sugar, pepper and thyme.
Rub into chicken and let stand 30 minutes.
