Feelin' Saucy?

We start by making the jerk sauce, which we call jacked sauce because it's the perfect seasoning for a hefty helping of gains.

You'll need:

  • 3 medium scallions, chopped

  • 2 Scotch bonnet chiles, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 1 tbsp. five-spice powder

  • 1 tbsp. allspice berries, coarsely ground

  • 1 tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper

  • 1 tbsp. dried thyme, crumbled

  • 1 tbsp. freshly grated nutmeg

  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil

In a blender or food processor, combine onion, scallions, chiles, garlic, five-spice powder, allspice, pepper, thyme, nutmeg, and salt; process to a coarse paste. Then add the soy sauce and oil in a steady stream. Lastly, pour your jacked sauce into a large, shallow dish, add the chicken, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

If you can't find five-spice powder, you can simply mix cloves, cinnamon, Szechuan pepper, fennel seeds, and nutmeg together.

Lastly, light up the grill and cook your chicken until golden brown. This should take approximately 35-45 minutes.
