Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the jerk seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced scotch bonnet pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  2. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    About 30 minutes before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.
