Jerk Chicken
- 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno chile, finely chopped (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 8 pieces (drumsticks and thighs) bone-in, skin-on chicken (2 1/2 pounds)
- Vegetable oil, for grill
- In a blender, combine scallions, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, olive oil, brown sugar, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, and the water; blend until smooth.
- Reserve 1/4 cup for brushing.
- Place chicken in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag; season all over with salt.
- Pour marinade over chicken; toss to coat.
- Cover (or seal); refrigerate, turning once or twice, at least 2 hours (or up to overnight; place bag on a plate in case of leaks).
- Heat grill to medium-high (see page 367 for instructions); lightly oil grates.
- Lift chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off (discard marinade); place on grill, and cover.
- Cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is blackened in spots, about 10 minutes.
- Move chicken to a cooler part of the grill; brush with reserved marinade.
- Cover, and grill until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Serve immediately.
