Ingredients

  • 10  green onions chopped (scallions)
  • 0.5  scotch bonnet chile seeded chopped (or 3 serrano chilies)
  • tablespoons citrus champagne vinegar 
  • tablespoon thyme leaves fresh
  • cloves garlic chopped
  • 1.3 teaspoon ground allspice 
  • teaspoon kosher salt plus more for additional seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper freshly ground
  • 3.5 lbs chicken dumsticks 
  • servings olive oil extra virgin 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • knife
  • baking pan
  • broiler
  • broiler pan

Directions

  1. Make the chili paste: In a food processor, purée the green onions, chilies, vinegar, garlic, thyme, allspice, salt and pepper into a thick paste.
  2. Put the drumsticks in a large bowl and coat with the chili paste.
  3. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare oven and chicken for broiling: Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and set the broiler to high.
  5. Coat the bottom of a broiler pan (under the perforated top part of the pan) with oil. (Note that a broiler pan really works best here. A regular baking pan may warp under the high heat of the broiler.)
  6. Arrange the drumsticks on the pan and sprinkle generously with salt.
  7. Broil the chicken: Broil chicken, turning once after about 10 minutes. Continue broiling until cooked through (juices run clear when poked with a knife tip) and nicely browned, about 20 minutes total.
  8. Note that some pieces may cook faster than others, in which case remove the pieces that are done and continue to cook the rest until cooked through.
