10 Chicken Legs and Thigh Pieces, bone-in and skin-on

6 Green Onions, chopped

6 Garlic Cloves, peeled and smashes

2 Jalapeno Peppers, seeds and stem removed

2 Red Chiles, seeds and stem removed

1 ½ - inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped

⅓ cup Fresh Lime Juice

¼ cup Soy Sauce, reduced-sodium

2 tbsp Brown Sugar

1 tbsp Fresh Thyme Leaves

1 tbsp Fresh Parsley Leaves

1 Lime Zested

1 tsp Ground Black Pepper

1 tsp Ground Allspice

½ tsp Ground Cinnamon

¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg

Place chicken pieces in a gallon-size Ziploc resealable bag.

Add the rest of the ingredients to a food processor and pulse to chop until you get to a coarse consistency, do not make it into a sauce.

Pour the mixture over the chicken, press out excess air and close the bag. Shake it well to get the marinade on all the chicken pieces. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Oven Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Remove chicken from marinade and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet, make sure the pieces do not touch each other.

Bake it until cooked through, for about 45-50 minutes, and broil during the last few minutes until it is crispy on the outside, watch it closely to not burn it.

Grill Instructions

Preheat a gas grill to about 400 degrees.

Make sure you clean the grates and rub them lightly with oil.

Arrange the chicken on the grill and cook, turning occasionally for about 30 minutes.

Serve

Serve the chicken with rice, fresh lime wedges and garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
