Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeño, or similar chili, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsps
  • 1 tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsps ground allspice
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Kosher salt
  • 8 pieces bone-in chicken drumsticks and thighs
  • Vegetable oil, for grill

Steps

  1. In a blender, combine green onions, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, oil, brown sugar, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water and blend until smooth. Set aside 1⁄4 cup.
  2. Place chicken in a shallow dish and season with salt. Pour remaining marinade over chicken; toss to coat. Let marinate in fridge, turning once or twice, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  3. When ready to grill, heat grill to medium-high and oil grates. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until chicken is charred in spots, about 10 minutes.
