  • 4cl soy sauce

  • 4cl apple cider vinegar

  • 4cl spiced rum

  • 1 large orange

  • 1 lime

  • 1 small red onion

  • 3-4 stalks scallions

  • 1-2 scotch bonnet or habenero chilies

  • 2 large cloves garlic

  • Thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger

  • 3 Tbsp. brown sugar

  • 1 tsp. nutmeg

  • 1 tsp. allspice

  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

  • 1 tsp. thyme

  • 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika

Directions

Roughly chop the onion, scallions and chilies, then grate the ginger and garlic and add them all to a food processor. Add the liquids and spices and blend until fairly smooth.

Cover chicken and let sit for at least 2 hours before grilling. Optionally set aside some marinade for brushing onto the meat during grilling.

Makes enough marinade for about 500g-1kg (1-2lbs) of chicken depending on if you save some for using while grilling.
