Heat up a dry skillet over a medium high, and toast the nutmeg, the cinnamon stick, the coriander seeds, the cloves, the Jamaica peppers and the black peppercorns.There’s really no need to get fancy with the side dishes when the chicken already packs such a punch keep it simple so you can focus on the delicious, tongue-burning heat of the main event. The bigger, starchier cousins of standard grocery-store bananas, plantains are often available in ethnic Caribbean markets, and delicious simply fried in coconut oil with a little salt. Since jerk is originally a Jamaican spice mixture, a fitting side dish for this chicken would be fried plantains. It still contains soy, so it’s not ideal, but at least it’s better than getting soy and gluten. If you can’t find any coconut aminos, you could always substitute gluten free tamari sauce. Instead of the typical soy sauce in this recipe, I used coconut aminos, a Paleo-friendly soy sauce alternative made from the sap of the coconut tree. I like to buy different pieces of chicken, but you could also use a whole bird and cut it into pieces yourself. You can also experiment with this recipe by changing the meat. If you prefer a slightly milder flavor, you can tame this chicken down by reducing the allspice or bonnet pepper. On the other hand, not everyone craves a spice mix quite that intense.
