If you really want to turn the heat up try my Caribbean Jerk Chicken recipe and make it as hot as you like. This is delicious on the BBQ…

Ingredients

• 6 chicken legs

• Marinade:
• 6 spring onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 scotch bonnet peppers
• 2 tsp all spice
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp fresh black pepper
• ¼ cup vinegar
• 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

1. Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth
2. Poke chicken legs with a knife, this helps the marinade sink deeper in
3. I save 1 tbsp of the marinade to make my BBQ sauce
4. Spread marinade all over chicken and leave to marinade in the fridge over night
5. Cook on a BBQ - charcoal is best, or in a hot oven for 20 -25 minutes until cooked
6. Serve with rice n peas and my BBQ jerk sauce

Notes

You can add some honey and ginger to make a great variation.
