PREP TIME: 10 minutes

ADDITIONAL TIME: 2 hours 10 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 2 hours 35 minutes

SERVINGS : 4-6

INSTRUCTIONS:

6 to 8 Chicken Drumsticks or 1 Whole Chicken cut into pieces

2 Scotch Bonnet Peppers (we used Habaneros) seeds removed (wear rubber gloves when handling these peppers)

1 tablespoon Salt, or to taste

1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

1 teaspoon Allspice

1 teaspoon Nutmeg

4 Garlic Cloves

1 1/2 teaspoons Thyme, dried

1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme

1/2 cup Scallions, chopped

1 tablespoon Coconut Oil

1 Lemon, sliced into 4 to 6 pieces

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Set aside chicken and lemon slices.

2. Using a food processor or blender, blend remaining ingredients into a paste. Pour the paste into a zip top bag with the chicken. Close the bag, squeeze out excess air. Massage the paste all around chicken from the outside the bag. Place in the fridge at least 2 hours to overnight. (The longer it marinades the hotter it will be.)

3. Grill chicken over medium or medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked.

4. Serve with lemon slices.
