This recipe is one I've been making for about 20 years and is famous on the outdoors board.

8 habaneros (seeded or not, your call)
2 sprigs thyme
2 T ginger
1 t whole allspice
4 T soy sauce
1 clove garlic
1 med onion (chopped)
2 green onions (chopped)

Combine all of the above in blender/food processor and blend on hi for 3 minutes or until liquified. Pour over 2-4 lbs chicken (I prefer wings) and marinate overnight in fridge.

Grill the chicken over hot lump charcoal.

If I'm cooking for mixed company, I usually seed all the habs and it has a nice warm finish. If I'm cooking for pepperheads, I'll leave the seeds in up to 4 or 6 of the habs for a good sinus clearing.

I cooked 50 lbs of these wings for an Eggfest in October and I was out by 11 am.

I'm planning to try this for super bowl. Think I'm going to sous vide some chicken breasts and some pork loin chops with the marinade in the bags, then remove after cooking, cut into chunks, put on skewers, re-coat with fresh marinade, and throw on grill to char.

Any thoughts on sides to go with this? Considering doing this for Sunday and don't know what I should do along side them.

No sauce at end of cook. There is ample flavor.

How hot is this if the seeds are taken out? My wife loves jerk chicken but her max level is about a medium at most hot wing places.

Mediumish. Should be fine. She can be like my wife does and "ruin" them with some ranch if she has to.

I was surprised they weren't hotter the first time I made this recipe. Great balance of flavor and heat.

Excellent recipe. Not overly hot but you can definitely taste the habaneros. I made mine without the seeds.

Made it today. Used thighs. Left seeds in the jap and 1 hab. Good stuff. I could go hotter, but my daughter liked this amount of spice.

Sent this recipe to a buddy for his super bowl party. He said it was really good, but too spicy for his midwestern taste buds.

Doing this, minus the brownies, plus coconut rice for mine tomorrow night. Also doctored the recipe a bit because I can never leave well enough alone. Will post results and additions if it comes out worth a damn tomorrow.

I got it from a college professor in Iowa back in the 90s.

I guess Iowans like spicy stuff more than Michiganians.

Got good results with AC's recipe (with a slug of rum added) on thighs smoked over mesquite.

Will probably try with wings next time in lieu of saucing them.

Cooked them last night. It was too windy outside, so I had to cook some over the stove and some in the oven. Thought they were good, but would'veobviously been better on the grill.

I thought they could use a little citrus flavor or twang, so I may try adding some lime juice or pineapple juice to the marinade next time. Has anyone done tried adding some sort of citrus to the recipe?

Did you grill the chicken?

I'm surprised that with all the sugars from the fruit juices and molasses that you didn't have problems with excessive burning.

I'm not a fan of mating fruit with meat, much to the chagrin of my Iowan wife who insists that pork chops must be eaten with applesauce.

And I will add just for reference that my neighbor across the street is Jamaican, and he pronounced the jerk both authentic tasting and delicious. He says that the fruity jerk you get in Jamaica is for the vacationing American hausfraus. He makes his jerk with a dry rub of spices he orders off the internet. He said mine is too much work.

For what that's worth.

Sous vide for 2hrs, then tossed on the Weber with a good dose of smoking chips for about 5 min a side at 500. My GF doesn't do hot food but managed two thighs through sweat and tears because it was so good.

Just did pork shoulder carnitas in my version of this, and I think I'm in love.

What's a quick and easy way to make coconut rice?

I'm hoping it's just rice cooked in coconut milk

I've been to two grocery stores and only ground allspice. Don't really feel like going anywhere else. Is this acceptable? I have never cooked with allspice.

Nvm my spice rack had some. Just put some in the fridge to marinate, can't wait to try it. I only deseeded 2 of the 8 habs. Using a combination of thighs and wings and wondering if I should keep the skin on the thighs. I get mixed answers on the web. Not used to cooking chicken as I am not particularly fond of it.
