Jerk Chicken Thighs & Wings

Marinade Ingredients:

  • 1 medium yellow onion; quartered
  • 5 green onions
  • 1 medium finger of ginger, peeled
  • 4 cloves garlic; peeled
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • ½ cup whole allspice berries
  • 1 small cinnamon stick
  • 1 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
  • 4 Scotch bonnet peppers or habanero peppers
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 ounces extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Juice of 2 limes

Meat Ingredients:

  • 10 chicken wings
  • 4 chicken thighs

Procedure:

Place all marinade ingredients in a blender and pulse about 10 – 15 times.  Reserve ½ of the marinade. 

Place the chicken in a large Ziploc bag and pour remaining marinade into the bag.  Let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours.  Grill or sauté in a pan until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Coat the chicken with the reserve marinade while cooking.

Chef’s Note:  For a less spicy marinade use ½ the amount of peppers.
