Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, allspice, ginger, minced garlic, chopped scotch bonnet pepper, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
