Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 medium onion coarsely chopped
  • 4 medium scallions green onions chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Thyme
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh ginger peeled and chopped
  • 8 Garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon ground Allspice
  • ½ Tablespoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1-3 Scotch Bonnet Peppers (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Pepper

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except chicken to blender and mix for about 10 seconds.
  • Slather paste/marinade all over chicken and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before cooking and lightly sprinkle with more salt and ground allspice.
  • Prepare a charcoal grill: Clean and oil grates then heat grill. If have wood chips available add to fire.
  • When charcoal turns grayish white sear chicken in batches on the oiled rack over coals until well browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Move chicken as seared to side of grill with no coals underneath, then cook, covered with lid, until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes more.
  • Let chicken rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving

Notes

Heat level can be adjusted by number of scotch bonnet peppers and/or removal of veins and seeds. Be sure to wear latex gloves when working with the peppers.
