Jamaican Jerk Chicken

Ingredients

1 tablespoon allspice
1 tablespoon thyme
1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon sage
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup orange
1 lime
1 scotch bonnet pepper
1 cup onion
3 onions
4 chicken

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the allspice, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, garlic powder and sugar. With a wire whisk, slowly add the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, and lime juice. Add the scotch bonnet pepper, onion, and green onions and mix well. Add the chicken breasts, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, longer if possible.

Preheat an outdoor grill. Remove the breasts from the marinade and grill for 6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. While grilling, baste with the marinade. Heat the leftover marinade and serve on the side for dipping.

NOTE: This recipe is not as hot as you would find in Jamaica. For that authentic flavor, double the quantity of dry spices.
