This is rough but it has all the ingredients. You make it your own. The only real crucials are the warm spices, thyme and the chili pepper
1 bunch scallions (about 10-12)
1/4 of a white onion
However much garlic
2ish tbsp light soy
However many scotch bonnets or habaneros (i use frozen habaneros that I grew a while back)
1/4c or more brown sugar
Juice of a lime or your favorite vinegar
Some fresh or dried thyme (you want the thyme noticeable in it but not overpowering)
Nutmeg and allspice (this is up to you on amounts, i like mine quite heavy on the allspice)
A little cinnamon is sometimes nice
Tons of black pepper
Salt to taste
Blend or food process it up while adding just enough oil to get things going. I usually adjust the salt, pep, and warm spices a few times before I get something I like. Chunky or smooth marinade is up to you.
Poke holes or make slits in in the chicken, marinate with about 1/2 of the mixture, reserve the rest, knock off the marinade and dry chicken w/ paper towels.
Turn reserved marinade and whatever you knocked off the chicken into a basting sauce. I usually add ketchup to it, I've put a few ounces of cheapo beer in it, I've added bottled bbq sauce, added Coke once, do whatever you want to make it yours.
Grill chicken while basting, and you want a lot of smoke and char. Pimento wood is usually used but good luck finding it.
Once it's cooked and charred up I usually shellac it with the sauce one more time and let it sit on the cool side of the grill to set the sauce.
You can also add coriander seed to the marinade to bring out the pepper's citrus flavors more. Smoked paprika is nice. Sometimes I'll add a bunch of parsley to it to make it more herbal and fresh. Next time I'm gonna fool around with adding the Fire Hatch Jerk stuff into the mix. Maybe as a dry rub while the chicken grills.
@tacooghost@CyberBeavis@FireHatchRubs This is a fantastic recipe!
About as authentic as any true roots one I've researched through the years, not kidding around whatsoever, this is gold!!

I jerkinated some pulled pork with @FireHatchRubs Werk that Jerk, added some @PrizmPeppers Caribbean Curry, grilled pineapple, lime, and cilantro.
EPIC.
@FireHatchRubs I would throw down with that!
Grew up eating it, been well over a decade since I had it. Carl Buddig beef or corned beef is what we used for the meat, the gravy/sauce looks perfect ๐๐ค๐๐ค
@phr00ts@rwbondandsongr Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Been working on that recipe for a few years now and feel like I finally have it just about right๐
