Let’s make Jamaican Jerk Chicken!

Take one whole chicken.

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.

Combine 3 chopped scotch bonnet peppers, 4 cloves of chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon thyme, 2 chopped onions, 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, 1/2 tablespoon nutmeg, 1/2 tablespoon ginger, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the juice from 1 lime,  1/2 cup white vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.

Blend the ingredients together in a food processor.

Then spread the mixture over the chicken as much as possible.

Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Bake in the centre of a preheated oven, uncovered for 45-50 minutes at 400°F, or until the thickest part of the thigh is 160°C.
