Serves: 4 - 6

Prep. Time:  30 mins  Total Time:  8 hrs 30 mins

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch chives
6–8 Scotch habanero chiles
5 garlic cloves
¾ cup malt vinegar
¾ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Morton kosher salt
2 ½ teaspoons ground allspice
1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon ground cloves
8 pieces skin-on, bone-in chicken legs, drumsticks and thighs separated (about 6 pounds total)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Blend chives, chiles, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, rum, salt, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves in a blender until smooth. Place chicken into a zip-lock bag and pour jerk marinade over. Turn thighs and drumsticks several times to coat. Cover and chill, turning chicken pieces once, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.

2. Remove chicken from marinade and place chicken onto paper towel. Dab chicken with paper towel to remove any excess marinade. Let chicken come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

3. Prepare grill for 2-zone heat. Arrange chicken drumsticks and thighs, skin side down, on grate over hottest part of grill and grill, turning halfway through, until lightly charred. Move chicken to cooler part of grill and continue to grill, turning several times, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°, 20–25 minutes longer.

4. Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
