Ingredients


Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the allspice, thyme, cayenne pep- per, 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 is the recipe as listed in the cookbook. Per- sonally, I would NEVER heat the leftover marinade and serve on the side for dipping, especially something that you had marinated POULTRY in. A MUCH better idea would be to reserve some of the marinade (BEFORE you put the chicken in it) and save it for serving. This recipe is also from Sugar Reef Caribbean Cooking by Devra Dedeaux. "This recipe is not as hot as you would find in Jamaica. For that authentic flavor, double the quantity of dry spices." From Geminis MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini

This was an excellent recipe, I adapted a few things, pulled the scotch bonnets and used some less spicy peppers. Added a tad more Lime. Added a small bit of Rosemary, cinnomon, and 5 spice. Used fresh Allspice and that is what really brought out the favors and married all of them together. Prep was not hard and in created a second round of my adapted spices and put them in a shaker for later use or on the chicken during the meal. BBQ w/ Mesquite wood. Turned out great!

This was a fantastic dish! I used thighs because every authentic jerk chicken dish I've seen uses bone-in meat. Everyone loved it! Served with curried rice
