Method
Alabama Rib Shack
- 1
In a large bowl, add the jerk seasoning and whisk in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and ground allspice until evenly combined.
- 2
Add the lime juice to the spice blend and whisk to form a bright, tangy base.
- 3
Whisk in the olive oil to emulsify the marinade and create a smooth coating.
- 4
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large resealable bag or shallow dish.
- 5
Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated on all sides.
- 6
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
- 7
Cook the chicken
Remove chicken from marinade and grill over medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C) for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Alternatively, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until cooked through.
