Jerk Chicken

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Prepare Jerk Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, and lime juice. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Chicken

    After resting, slice the chicken into strips.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the sandwich buns lightly, if desired.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, sliced jerk chicken, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
