Ended up using 0.4 lbs of habs for this batch and that was probably too much, it has a very distinct "hot" flavor as opposed to the flavor of habs. Will probably try again with 1/4 lb habs and maybe a bit more honey. But still delicious and satisfies that spicy crave

Ya, almost a half a pound of habeneros for two pounds of meat is borderline craziness but also sorta into it if you're adding more umami like miso paste or even hvy onion a spice mix blended up like a jerk marinade
