Celebrate the sunny Caribbean with this hot and spicy chicken, inspired by the flavours of the islands. Scotch bonnet or habanero hot peppers are essential to the local cuisine, but they should be handled with caution. If you're not used to handling hot peppers, wear kitchen gloves when you seed and chop them.

- 3 Scotch bonnet peppers seeded and minced, or 1 tbsp/15 mL Caribbean hot sauce

- 3/4 tsp (4 mL) ground allspice
- 3/4 tsp (4 mL) ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) nutmeg
