Creating Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken is a simple yet rewarding process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, black pepper, and salt.
2. Add Fresh Ingredients: Stir in the chopped green onions, Scotch bonnet peppers, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
3. Mix the Liquids: In another bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, lime juice, and vinegar. Mix well.
4. Combine: Add the dry spice mixture to the liquid mixture and stir until well combined.
5. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
6. Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
7. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Enjoy your jerk chicken with your favorite sides.
