This is one of my favorite ways to grill chicken. Be aware it is a bit spicy.

Directions

Ingredients

  • 1 Red Onion, quartered
  • 1 1⁄2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Allspice
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 4 teaspoons Ground White Pepper
  • 1⁄4 cup Scallion, chopped green tops
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon Grated Nutmeg
  • 5 small Jalapeno Pepper, rough chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 splash Rum

Step 1

Put first 11 ingredients into a food processor and mix on high for 15 pulses. This is the Jamaican Jerk Rum Rub.

Ingredients

  • 1 Chicken, halved
  • 1 Lime, halved
  • 1 pinch Salt

Step 2

Rub the chicken with lime and pinch of salt. Rub jerk seasoning over chicken halves and marinate in the refrigerator, overnight for the best results. Preheat a barbecue grill to medium high. Grill the chicken for about 45 minutes, turning often to optimize cooking and browning. Let chicken rest for 10 minutes before cutting into quarters.
