cooking spray and bake in 425*F oven for 15 minutes,
turning once.
Remove picks and serve with Jamaican Pepper Sauce for
dipping.

cups mango juice, 3 tablespoons minced cilantro, 2
teaspoons hot pepper sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar
and 2 teaspoons Jamaican jerk seasoning.

baking. Whisk again just before serving.
