Ingredients:
3lbs bone-in chicken (legs, thighs, legs)
6 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1-2 scotch bonnet (based on your spice tolerance)
1.5 inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
1/3 C fresh lime juice
1/4 C light soy sauce
1.5 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp freshly ground allspice
.5 tsp ground cinnamon
.5 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions:
1. Put all ingredients (except chicken, obviously) into food processor and pulse - texture of marinate should be slightly coarse. Mix marinade and chicken in large plastic ziploc bag, making sure that chicken is well coated and squeeze out excess air so that the marinade sits tight against the chicken. Marinade at least 3hrs in the fridge, or overnight for best flavour.
2. Heat BBQ to medium heat (about 400 degrees). Brush grill with oil using long silicone brush - careful not to burn yourself! Grill chicken until cooked through (I check using a meat thermometer, aim for an internal temperature of 165 degrees), turning and reapplying with excess marinade occasionally. Should take approx 30min.*
* You can also bake this in the oven by preheating the oven to 400 degrees and placing chicken on foil wrapped or silicone baking sheet. Bake for 30-45min. Cover top with tin foil if chicken browning too much.
