Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 teaspoons allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 onion
8 garlic cloves
fresh ginger, sliced
3 scallions, sliced
3 limes, juice of
1 dash low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
1 scotch bonnet pepper, halved, plus more to taste
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 whole free-range chicken, cut into 10 pieces or 5 lbs chicken
lime, for garnish
parsley, for garnish
smoking chips, soaked in water for 15 minutes

Steps:

  • Begin by making the jerk marinade. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a blender and process until you have a smooth puree.
  • Add chicken pieces into a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Put the bag into a baking dish and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Prepare a table-top smoker or take a roasting tray, line it with foil and add some soaked wood chips to the bottom. Place a wire rack over the top, upside down, and lay chicken pieces over the chips on the rack. Cover with foil and grill over high heat. Smoke for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Transfer the chicken pieces to a baking sheet and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Bake in the oven "low and slow" until chicken is tender, about 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the baking sheet to a serving platter and garnish with limes and parsley before serving.
