Jerk Chicken

Chicken pieces (bone-in skin-on) – I recommend using 5 thighs and 5 legs
Green onions – 1/2 small red onion could be substituted.
Garlic – only use fresh garlic.
Ginger – this adds so much flavor, only use fresh.
Habanero peppers – scotch bonnet peppers will work too if you can find them. The amount used can be adjusted to taste, these are spicy!
Lime juice – in a pinch lemon juice will work too. Don’t use bottled.
Soy sauce – if you have low sodium on hand that will work, just add a little salt to the marinade.
Brown sugar – honey could be substituted.
Thyme leaves – preferably use fresh, in a pinch 1 tsp dried will work.
Allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg – these may seem strange with chicken but they’re key ingredients, don’t omit them!
Black pepper – it’s a hassle to grind it but it does make a difference.
