4-4.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 bunch scallions, (trimmed and cut into chunks)
6 garlic cloves, (peeled)
3-4 habanero peppers, (stemmed and seeded)
1 piece fresh ginger ((2-inch piece))

Steps:

  • Place the chicken thighs in a large gallon zip bag. Place all remaining ingredients in the food processor. Puree on high until well-combined and pasty.
  • Pour the jerk marinade over the chicken in the zip bag. Close the bag tightly and gently massage the bag to ensure all the chicken thighs are coated in marinade. Refrigerate for 3 to 48 hours. (The longer the marinade time, the more complex and spicy the chicken will taste.)
