8-10 Chicken drum sticks skin on.

Marinade
1/2 medium onion, coarsely chopped
3 medium scallions, chopped
2 Scotch bonnet chiles, minced
2 FRESH garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon five-spice powder
1 tablespoon allspice berries, coarsely ground like pepper
1/2 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled (or Majoram if you have it)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 to 2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Mix marinade ingredients in bag and put chicken. Marinate for at least 8 hours, better 24.

Set up smoker to run at 250/225. Smoke for at least 2 hours with apple or cherry wood.

Once they reach 165 internal, heat grill (gas or charcoal) to the surface of the sun setting. Put chicken on the grill for 2 to 5 minutes to crisp up the skin.

Serve up with some rice made with Goya Sazon seasoning and asparagus quickly fried in a bit of olive oil sprinkled with montreal steak seasoning.

Optional: If you don't have a smoker, grill for 25-30 minutes rotating ever 6 minutes or so.

Easy on the scotch bonnets, they sneak up on you with the heat. Wife got angry at me with the last batch. I have to say what makes the biggest difference is fresh ground allspice berries. Get the berries and grind them in a coffee grinder. Pre ground stuff loses a lot of the scent and flavor. Great recipe, thanks
