Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the jerk seasoning, olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped Scotch bonnet pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the thighs, making sure they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the thighs skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 7-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 7-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    After grilling, remove the chicken thighs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with your choice of sides.
