Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp ground thyme
1 tbsp ground rosemary
1 tbsp ground allspice
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tbsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground scotch bonnet peppers ( habanero)
12 bay leaves (finely crumbled )
1/3 cup sugar
3 lbs chicken (pieces, wings , halves, whatever)
1 lime , juice of
1/4 cup olive oil

Directions:

Combine all but chicken, lime juice and oil in mixing bowl and whisk to mix well.
Whisk together lime juice and olive oil.
Rub chicken well with lime/oil mix. Do not marinate.
Coat chicken with dry seasoning/spice mixture. The idea here is to get as much as possible to stick to the chicken. We store our seasoning in a leftover spice container with large sprinkle holes and use that to season. This is not a rub, so it should not be applied in rub fashion.
Refrigerate 1-3 hours, then remove from refrigerator and allow to come to near room temperature.
Prepare grill for direct/indirect grilling.
Grill chicken over hot direct fire. Don't worry about the black, it's supposed to be there. In fact, 30-40% of the skin should end up black, but it will not be bitter.
Once seared, remove to the indirect heat area of the grill and cook to 165* internal temperature.
One quick dance across the direct heat before serving will help crisp it a bit.
Serve with plenty of napkins.
