Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the jerk seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the boneless chicken thighs in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the burger buns in half. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a few slices of grilled chicken. Add a slice of tomato and some red onion on top. If desired, spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the top half of the bun before placing it on the sandwich.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the jerk chicken sandwiches immediately with your favorite side dishes.
