Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp ginger (approx a 1in/2.5cm piece)
  • 1/2 red onion (small, or around 3-4 scallions/spring onions)
  • 2 tsp ground allspice
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 lime juice and zest (ie from 1 lime)
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (for mild, or 1 Scotch bonnet pepper, stem removed, for hot)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken thighs (700g, approx, 4-6 thighs)

Instruction

  • If using a blender/small food processor, peel the garlic, ginger and onion then put in the machine with the allspice, thyme, soy sauce, honey, lime, cayenne/chili, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Blend until fairly smooth. Alternatively chop the garlic, ginger and onion finely or grate them them mix with the other ingredients.
  • Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken thighs. Make sure the chicken is well covered and leave refrigerated overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  • Grill over a medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, around 10 minutes on each side, turning every few minutes to avoid them sticking.
