Ingredients
-
3 teaspoons Organic Allspice Ground
2 scotch bonnet or habanero peppers, seeded
4 garlic cloves
1 inch piece fresh ginger
4 green onions
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1.5 kg (3.3 lb) bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks
Lime wedges
Sliced green onions
Directions
Blend all jerk marinade ingredients until smooth.
Score chicken pieces deeply with a sharp knife.
Coat chicken thoroughly in jerk marinade, pressing into the scored cuts; cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Set up grill for two-zone cooking: one side high heat, one side medium-low; preheat to medium-high and oil the grates.
Grill chicken over direct heat 4–5 minutes per side until charred.
Move to indirect heat side, cover, and cook 20–25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with green onions and lime wedges; serve with rice and peas or grilled plantains.
