jamaican jerk chicken (Grilled)

Servings: 10

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 50 minutes

Marinating: 3 hours

Chicken and Marinade Ingredients

  • Chicken pieces (bone-in skin-on) – I recommend using 5 thighs and 5 legs
  • Green onions – 1/2 small red onion could be substituted.
  • Garlic – only use fresh garlic.
  • Ginger – this adds so much flavor, only use fresh.
  • Habanero peppers – scotch bonnet peppers will work too if you can find them. The amount used can be adjusted to taste, these are spicy!
  • Lime juice – in a pinch lemon juice will work too. Don’t use bottled.
  • Soy sauce – if you have low sodium on hand that will work, just add a little salt to the marinade.
  • Brown sugar – honey could be substituted.
  • Thyme leaves – preferably use fresh, in a pinch 1 tsp dried will work.
  • Allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg – these may seem strange with chicken but they’re key ingredients, don’t omit them!
  • Black pepper – it’s a hassle to grind it but it does make a difference.

DIRECTIONS

Heat grill, clean, and oil grates: preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees.) Clean grill grates and rub lightly with oil using tongs and an oiled paper towel.

Cook through to 165 degrees: grill until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally (and reducing burning temperature slightly if it’s browning too quickly) about 30 minutes.
