Ingredients

1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Scotch bonnet chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
2 tablespoons Pickapeppa sauce
1 tablespoon freshly grated peeled ginger
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1&4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into large cubes

1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cubed
Kosher salt

Directions

Special Equipment: 6 long skewers

Pulse the vinegar, rum, brown sugar, scallions, garlic, chile, Pickapeppa sauce, ginger,
allspice, and pumpkin pie spice in a food processor to make a slightly chunky sauce. Heat
the oil in a medium skillet and cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, until the oil
is absorbed and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Cool.

Rub the jerk paste all over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.

Heat a grill pan over medium heat or prepare a grill. Thread the chicken, scallions, and
pineapple alternately on skewers (if you use wooden ones, soak them in water for 15
minutes before threading them). Season with salt. (Leave a little space around the meat so

the heat gets to all sides.) Grill, turning, until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12
minutes.
