Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 scallions, ends trimmed, cut into thirds
2 to 4 Scotch bonnet or jalapeno chiles (or to taste), stems and seeds removed (use gloves)
6 garlic cloves, peeled
3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin-pie spice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), giblets and liver discarded
Vegetable oil, for grates
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine scallions, chiles, garlic, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, pumpkin-pie spice, and thyme; puree into a thick paste. Set aside.
  • To butterfly chicken: Using a knife or poultry shears, cut out the backbone. With a heavy pot, crack breastplate so the bird lays flat. Place butterflied chicken in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Rub reserved paste over chicken, and seal bag. Refrigerate for 12 hours (or up to 1 day).
  • Heat grill to medium-low; lightly oil grates. Wipe chicken with paper towels to remove excess paste, and season with 1 tablespoon coarse salt. Place, skin side down, on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 35 to 40 minutes (if browning too quickly, move to a cooler part of grill). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the chicken and the sauce, and they didn't even notice the hidden veggies.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I served this dish over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. It was a delicious and healthy meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed the flavors of the sauce really well.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breasts on the weekend and then used them to make this dish during the week. It was a delicious and easy meal.

I'm allergic to bell peppers, so I substituted zucchini in this recipe. It worked out really well! The zucchini added a nice sweetness to the dish.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts, and I added some extra vegetables to the sauce. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out raw. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?

This dish was okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
