Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a blender or food processor, combine green onions, garlic, thyme, allspice, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, scotch bonnet pepper, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with rice and peas or a fresh salad.
