3 green onions, chopped

4 large garlic cloves, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

4 to 5 fresh Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, stemmed and seeded

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons salt

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

2 teaspoons ground allspice

2 teaspoons black pepper

3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. mix all marinade ingredients in a blender, food processor, magic bullet, whatev
 
2. divide chicken (4-5 lbs of drumsticks, thighs, breasts .. whatever type of chicken you like) into 2 freezer bags
 
3. pour half of the marinade in each bag and massage the marinade into the chicken
 
4. place the bags in a baking pan in the fridge for 1-2 days
