Chicken Marinade

Yes, yes I do.

Keys to this marinade are habaneros and allspice. You really can get as spicy as you want and put anything IN IT you want, but I marinate it in roasted, crushed habaneros, cracked peppercorns, garlic, lime juice, orange juice, all spice and a LITTLE nutmeg.

So I'm just going to guess here, sounds like equal parts orange juice and lime juice, maybe a half cup of each. Then a few crushed garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons of allspice, 2 teaspoons of the peppercorns, a dash of nutmeg, and about 5-8 habaneros with the seeds removed, roasted, and crushed.

Am I about on target? I'm sure it's not an exact science for you, you probably just toss it in by feel.

Honestly, when I roast them I take the seeds out. Like I said in the hot sauce thread, I do love me some spicy, but the seeds are grossly hot. It's a pretty standard marinade. I haven't looked it up recently, but I bet it's similar to a lot of recipes. What makes it "yours" is whether you want citrusy or spicy.

If you're not roasting the habaneros, I would leave half the seeds in. It's pretty spicy, but not unbearable.
