Truly easy and fabulously tasty dish -- I couldn't find allspice (in UK) so used crushed cloves and that was fine. I think the spiciness of this dish is perfect and wouldnt adjust them at all. I have served this twice now with Recipe #18816 (Cabbage for those who dislike cabbage) and found it to be a good pairing. The cabbage is a nice mellow foil for the spicy chicken. I did mine on the broiler (actually a grill in the UK) and the timing was fine. Thanks, NurseDi, for another one!
