I got this recipe from Food & Wine's top 20 recipes of all time, and I wanted to write them down before my mom threw away the pamphlet.
In a food processor, combine the chopped onion, scallions, chiles, and garlic with the five-spice powder, allspice berries, pepper, thyme, grated nutmeg and salt, and process to a coarse paste. With the machine on, add the soy sauce and vegetable oil in a slow steady stream. Pour the jerk marinade into a large, shallow dish, then add the chicken quarters and turn to coat. Cover the chicken tightly and refrigerate overnight. Let the chicken return to room temperature before proceeding.
Light a grill. Drain the marinated chicken quarters and grill over a medium-hot fire, turning occasionally, until the pieces are well browned and cooked through: 35 to 40 minutes. (Cover the grill for a smokier flavor). Transfer the jerk chicken to a platter and serve.
