Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the Jamaican jerk seasoning, vegetable oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped scallions, fresh thyme, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and Garnish

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
