Serves 8

Ingredients
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup ground allspice
  • ¾ cup minced scallions
  • ½ cup peanut or canola oil
  • ⅓ cup ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup kosher salt
  • ¼ cup minced ginger
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
  • ½ tsp. ground cloves
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, stemmed and minced
  • 2 3-4-lb. chickens, each quartered

Instructions
  1. Combine sugar, allspice, scallions, oil, pepper, salt, ginger, juice, soy sauce, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, garlic, and chiles in a bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat in jerk marinade. Cover with plastic wrap; chill at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  2. Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium. (Alternatively, heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat.) Add chicken, skin side down; cook, turning once, until marinade forms a crust on the outside, about 8 minutes. Cover grill; continue cooking until cooked through, about 40 minutes. (Alternatively, transfer chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet; bake in a 350° oven until done.)
