The keyword when making Jamaican Jerk Chicken is SPICE!
Jerk Seasoning is full of spices and packs some heat. It should be grilled over high heat, and served hot to ensure a crispy bite. This is one to try!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp. MarnaMaria Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
- 3 lbs. chicken thighs with skin
- 2 tbsp. lime juice
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Whisk together lime juice and olive oil in a small bowl.
- Coat chicken well with olive oil mixture.
- Sprinkle MarnaMaria Jamaican Jerk seasoning generously over chicken. Use as much seasoning as will stick to the chicken, until thoroughly covered.
- Refrigerate seasoned chicken for 3 - 4 hours.
- Preheat grill to high if using gas or electric. If using charcoal, create a hot side and cooler side of the grill.
- Sear chicken over the hottest part of the fire until a third of the skin has turned black and is crispy.
- Lower heat to medium and continue cooking until meat is cooked through and you’ve reached an internal temperature of 165ºF.
- Right before serving, transfer chicken to the hot side of the fire and allow skin to crisp up.
- Serve hot alongside coconut rice and beans.
