Ingredients

Toast and grind the following in a dry skillet:
1/2 of 1 nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cloves, whole
6 pimento seeds (allspice)
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
In a blender or food processor puree:
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 large onion, roughly chop
2 to 3 Scotch Bonnet peppers
10 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
10 garlic cloves
Combine all of the above in a bowl and stir in the following:
1/2 cup fresh lime juice or white vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup raw sugar
Score chicken and season with salt. Spoon desired amount of jerk marinade over chicken and rub into scores. Marinade refrigerated for 2 hours to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 35 minutes in the oven. Remove from the oven and finish on the grill or smoker in my case.
