Ingredients

• 8 scallions, chopped
• 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
• 3 Scotch bonnet chiles, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons chopped thyme
• 2 tablespoons ground allspice
• Salt
• 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• Three 4-pound chickens, each cut into 8 pieces
• Freshly ground pepper

Directions

1. In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the chicken and process to a paste. Put the chicken pieces in a very large bowl and pour the marinade on top. Toss to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

2. Light a grill. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, leaving on a coating of spice paste. Grill the chicken over moderately high heat, turning often, until the skin is nicely charred and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve.
