List of Ingredients



• 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  
• 3 medium scallion, coarsely chopped
  
• 2 Scotch bonnet chiles, coarsely chopped
  
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  
• 1 tablespoon five-spice powder
  
• 1 tablespoon allspice berries, coarsely ground
  
• 1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
  
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
  
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
  
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  
• 2 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chickens, quartered
  






Instructions



1. In a food processor or blender, combine the onion, scallions, chiles, garlic, 5-spice powder, allspice, pepper, thyme, nutmeg and salt; process to a coarse paste. With the machine on, add the liquid in a steady stream. Pour the marinade into a large, shallow dish, add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refridgerate overnight. Bring the chicken to room temperature before proceeding.
   
   
2. Light a grill. Grill the chicken over a moderately high fire, turning occasionally, until well browned and cooked through (cover the grill for a smokier flavor). Transfer chicken to a platter and serve.
