Ingredients

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

Directions

Combine all ingredients except the chicken and lime juice in a food processor and puree until pretty smooth. 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. Place in a container and pour the remaining sauce on top of chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the chicken pieces from the jerk marinade and place them, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet or dish. Bake in the oven for 45 to 55 minutes until cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

    I love this chicken! One of my favorite meals. I've cooked the chicken in the oven and grill- delicious either way!

    This was really easy to make and all my guest loved it. I used chicken thighs and added some creole seasoning to the marinade. Delish!
