minutes16
minutesIngredients
– 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– A couple of tablespoons of olive oil
– A big handful of fresh thyme sprigs
– 3 minced garlic cloves
– A thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
– 2 chopped scallions
– A couple of Scotch bonnet peppers, seeded (wear gloves!)
– A splash of soy sauce
– A squeeze of lime juice
– A spoonful of brown sugar
– A pinch of allspice
– A dash of ground cinnamon and nutmeg
– Salt and black pepper to season
Instructions
1. Combine olive oil, thyme, garlic, ginger, scallions, Scotch bonnets, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper in a blender. 2. Blend until smooth to create the jerk marinade. 3. Place chicken thighs in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them, coating each piece thoroughly. 4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor—this marinating tip ensures the spices penetrate the meat. 5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F. 6. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. 7. Place thighs skin-side down on the grill grates. 8. Grill for 6–8 minutes until the skin is crispy and lightly charred. 9. Flip the chicken and grill for another 6–8 minutes. 10. Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a thigh—it should read 165°F. 11. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the juices locked in, a key tip for tender results. Use leftover marinade to baste during grilling for an extra flavor boost, but avoid cross-contamination by setting some aside before marinating. Unbelievably juicy with a smoky, spicy kick, these thighs pair perfectly with coconut rice or tucked into warm tortillas. The crispy skin gives way to tender meat infused with aromatic spices—ideal for summer gatherings or a weeknight escape to the islands.
