A flavorful and spicy grilled chicken recipe inspired by Caribbean cuisine.
Combine the scallions, garlic, chilies, onion, sugar, thyme, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, vinegar, soy sauce, and lime juice in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Blending the marinade thoroughly ensures even distribution of flavors.
Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
Massage the marinade into the chicken for better absorption.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken overnight to allow the flavors to develop.
Marinating overnight enhances the depth of flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and season with salt and pepper.
Avoid wiping off too much marinade to retain flavor.
Grill the chicken, turning frequently, until charred and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Transfer the grilled chicken to a platter and serve hot.
Garnish with fresh herbs or lime wedges for a vibrant presentation.
