Marinade and Chicken
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a blender or food processor, combine scallions, garlic, fresh thyme, allspice, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, scotch bonnet pepper, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.

Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice and peas or a fresh salad.
