Number Of Ingredients 20

4 bone-in chicken breasts
4 bone-in chicken thighs
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
1 bunch green onions
1 or 2 scotch bonnet peppers
1 lime, juiced
1 Tbsp minced ginger
1/8 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
kosher salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp. ground thyme
1 Tbsp fresh thyme
1 tsp. all spice
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1) Put the chicken in a large bowl. Add all the ingredients except the chicken to a food processor or blender. Process the mixture, save some for basting and pour the rest over the chicken. Mix together well (under skin, etc.) and cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. 2) Preheat the grill at medium-high heat and the oven at 350 degrees. 3) Bring the chicken to room temperature before grilling. Grill the chicken for 10 minutes, turning once. Put the remaining marinade in a oven proof 13x9-inch baking dish. Add the grilled chicken to the marinade and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. (More or less time depending on the size of the chicken breasts). Serve the chicken warm with remaining sauce.

This jerk chicken is so good! I made it for a party and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. I'll definitely be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken came out a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it. Next time, I'll be more careful.

5/5 stars! I've made this jerk chicken recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is perfect. I love that it's not too spicy, so everyone can enjoy it.

This jerk chicken recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy, and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a hit with my family.
