Jamaican Jerk Chicken

Ingredients :

• 1 whole chicken,
• Chili peppers, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped ( or 2 tbsp minced garlic)
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon ground allspice
• 2 onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• ½ tablespoon nutmeg
• ½ tablespoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lime, juiced
• 100 mL (⅓ cup) apple cider vinegar
• salt, to taste, we used 1 tablespoon
• pepper, to taste, we used 2 tablespoons

Preparation :

1. Prepare the chicken by removing the backbone using a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp knife. Turn it over and flatten it down to spread the chicken out as much as possible.
2. Blend together all of the other ingredients in a food processor and spread it over the chicken as much as possible.
3. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
4. Bake in the center of a preheated oven, uncovered for 45-50 minutes at 400°F (200°C), or until the thickest part of the thigh is 320°F (160°C).
