1. To make the marinade, combine the stemmed scotch bonnet peppers, fresh thyme, garlic cloves, green onions, peeled ginger knob, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, soy sauce, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, oil, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
2. Marinate 2 pounds of chicken pieces in this mixture for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Bake the marinated chicken at 400°F until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This typically takes 20-30 minutes for chicken pieces, depending on their size.
5. Once the chicken has reached the desired internal temperature, broil it for 4-5 minutes to crisp the skin and achieve a nice char.
