Time 7h

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp allspice berries
1 Tbsp black peppercorns
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
4 clove garlic
2 medium scotch bonnet or habanero chilies, halved and stems removed
2 tsp ground ginger
6 scallions (green onions), roughly chopped
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
juice of 2 limes
6 large chicken legs - leg and thigh attached

Steps:

  • 1. Slightly crush the allspice berries and peppercorns (so they more easily blend into the marinade).
  • 2. Place crushed allspice, crushed peppercorns, thyme leaves, garlic, chilies, scallions, ginger, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, soy sauce and lime juice in a food processor, and grind to a paste.
  • 3. Put chicken in a baking dish, add the seasoning paste and coat chicken well, using a spoon. Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  • 4. Heat oven to 350°F, and bring chicken to room temperature. Turn chicken once more in marinade to coat well.
  • 5. Place dish in the oven, uncovered. Bake for 1 hour or until well browned and juices run clear when probed with a paring knife. Put dish under the broiler for a minute or so, to char chicken skin slightly. Remove and serve with coconut rice, if desired.
