Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cup chopped onions
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 2 habanero peppers
  • 1 (5-pound) chicken, skin on, cut into 10 pieces
  • 1 cup lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients except the chicken and lime juice in a food processor and puree until pretty smooth.

Step 2

Place the chicken and lime juice in a mixing bowl and pour about half of the jerk sauce over it, tossing the chicken around to coat it well.

Step 3

Place in a container and pour the remaining sauce on top of chicken.

Step 4

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 6

Remove the chicken pieces from the jerk marinade and place them, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet or dish.

Step 7

Bake in the oven for 45 to 55 minutes until cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
