Directions

EASY METHOD:

Throw it all together in a large zip-lock baggie & turn several times during the marinating period.

FANCY METHOD:

In a bowl, combine scallion greens, shallots, garlic, ginger and chile. Reserve.
In another bowl, combine allspice, black pepper, cayenne, cinnamon, salt and sugar. Mix thouroughly; whisk in orange juice, vinegars and soy sauce. Slowly drizzle in oil, whisking constantly. Add the the reserved scallion mixture; stir to combine. Let rest at least one hour.
Rinse chicken, pat dry and place in a bowl. Add sauce; rub in well (wear rubber gloves to protect hands whenever working with hot chiles). Cover and refrigerate overnight.

COOK:

Preheat oven to 350°. Remove marinated chicken to a shallow roasting pan. Prebake for 45 minutes, turning chicken and basting occasionally.
Prepare hot coals for grilling, then grill meat over medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes, turning 4-5 times and dabbing with remaining marinade.
