Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of rice and peas or grilled vegetables.
