Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/27/2013   Used one habanero-use two next time. Marinated the chicken for about 7-hours, meat turned grey. On my grill med-low, had to take it off 20 min. early & rested for 10 min. it scorched a bit; next time on low only. Good flavor but didn't look like the picture. Would try it again.

Ingredients

  • 1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, stemmed 1 bunch scallions, cut into pieces 2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme 2 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar 1 tablespoon ground allspice 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grill 3 1/2 to 4 pounds chicken pieces Salt and pepper

Directions

In a food processor, puree chile, scallions, garlic, thyme, brown sugar, allspice, soy sauce, lime juice, and oil. In a large zip-top bag, toss chicken with paste. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-low. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Season chicken with salt and pepper; grill, covered, turning often to prevent charring, until cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.
