Jerk Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 8-10 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 spicy pepper like Habanero or Scotch Bonnet (may use jalapeños for less spice)
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 limes juice only
  • 1 lime juice and zest
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • salt

Directions:

  1. Make your marinade first. Chop onion and scallions and add it to the food processor. Add spicy pepper, garlic cloves, and all remaining ingredients. Pulse until the mixture if completely smooth and blended.
  2. Place chicken into a large zip-lock bag and pour all the marinade over it. Close the bag and mix so the chicken is coated evenly. Lay the bag down on a large plate and refrigerate overnight to marinade.
  3. Start the coals and make sure to preheat the grill first. Brush the grill grate with some oil to grease it and place chicken drumsticks on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Open the lid and use metal tongues to flip the chicken quarter of the way. Close the lid and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Flip chicken another quarter of the way. Repeat until chicken is cooked all around. About 30-40 minutes. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the biggest drumstick and cook until the internal temperature is 165°.
