JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN

Jamaican Jerk Chicken image

This Jamaican Jerk Chicken recipe brings the flavors of garlic, spicy peppers, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon together in the most flavorful chicken marinade ever. The flavors really come together well and the aromas from the chicken on the grill will make your mouth water. I like to make it with chicken legs and thighs...

Ingredients

1 medium onion roughly chopped
6 green onions roughly chopped
4 clove garlic peeled
2 habanero peppers stem removed
1 inch piece ginger peeled roughly chopped
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 limes juiced
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
3 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 1/2 - 3 lb bone in skin on chicken legs or thighs

Steps:

1. Combine the onion, green onions, garlic, habanero peppers, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, thyme, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse several times to combine the ingredients.
2. Pour into a heavy duty seal bag and add the chicken legs and thighs to the bag. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for 3-4 hours.
3. Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Using tongs remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill over direct heat. Discard any remaining marinade. Cook until slightly blackened and charred. Move the chicken to indirect heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
