Ingredients

12 total
  • 0.5 tsp of nutmeg
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1 lime, juice
  • 1 kg of chicken legs & thighs
  • 1 tbsp of black peppercorns
  • 0.5 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp of fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch of spring onions
  • 1 tbsp of gran luchito smoked chilli paste, go for 2 tbsps if you want a bit more heat
  • 1 tbsp of dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp of soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp of allspice, powder

Method

6 steps

  1. Step 1

    Add everything apart from the chicken to a food processor (cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, spring onions and Gran Luchito Smoked Chilli Paste, sugar, salt, soy sauce and lime juice.)

  2. Step 2

    Pour this over the chicken and massage in as much as possible (putting it all into a freezer bag is the easiest way).

  3. Step 3

    Leave covered in the fridge for as long as possible (preferably overnight).

  4. Step 4

    You can cook this on the BBQ or in a griddle pan on the hob. BBQ will give you a more authentic smoky 
flavour, but remember the smoky flavour of Gran Luchito will give you this too.

  5. Step 5

    Cook through and finish in the oven. Don't worry too much if the skin gets slightly blackened.

  6. Step 6

    Serve with your favourite salad and cold beer.
