Did you ever find a recipe?

In reading the ingredients, with only one jalapeno -- this one would be mild. And, you can remove the one Jal and it will be a 0 on the Hot-o-meter! See if this is what you're looking for... its just a copy/paste from a reputable site I visit on occasion.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds chicken, cut into serving pieces, or use equal weight of legs and thighs
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 jalapeño chile, seeded, or 1 teaspoon dried chile flakes
• 2 teaspoons allspice
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Prep Time

15 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time

3 hours

Container: grill
Serving Description: 1/4 chicken

Directions

• The suggested amounts provide a fairly mild flavored recipe; if desired, adjust to taste.
• In a food processor, mix all ingedients except chicken and process into a paste. Smear this all over the chicken pieces, put the chicken into a plastic bag and refrigerate from 2 to 24 hours.
• To cook, remove chicken from refrigerator while grill heats. Grill medium-hot, until chicken is browned on all sides (10 - 15 minutes). When nicely browned, reduce heat (gas) or rake coals to one side (charcoal), cover, and continue to cook, turning as needed to prevent burning, until done (20 - 30 minutes).
• TIP: Can also be cooked in an oven: preheat to 400°F, put chicken on a rack in a shallow pan, and roast until brown and tender, 30 - 40 minutes.
