  • Summary

    This version of the famous jerk method from Boston Bay in Jamaica is a classic example of why spice pastes work so well in grilling: They're easier to make and impart flavors more directly than a liquid marinade. Sweet-and-sour chutney and an incendiary but hyper-flavorful Scotch bonnet pepper sauce complement the chicken. You probably won't use all the sauce, but extra keeps, covered and refrigerated, indefinitely. Important note: This dish is EXTREMELY SPICY. While adored by spicy-food lovers for their distinctive flavor, the Scotch bonnet peppers that feature prominently here are some of the hottest chiles you can find. If you prefer a lower heat level, you can dial it down a bit by removing the seeds (which contain much of the heat) from the Scotch bonnets or substituting another type of fresh red or green chile that packs less of a punch.

    Ingredients

    • 6 tablespoons olive oil
    • 5 Scotch bonnet chiles with seeds, chopped (wear gloves when handling chiles)
    • 2 scallions, green and white parts, chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
    • 1/4 cup dried thyme
    • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
    • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
