Time 8h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ green onion, minced
¼ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno peppers
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Combine green onion, orange juice, ginger, jalapeno, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves in resealable container. Seal and shake to combine. Add chicken and coat; marinate for 8 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken; reserve marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, turning halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 170 degrees F (77 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, bring reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Drizzle over cooked chicken.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this recipe was perfect for me. The jerk sauce had a nice kick, but it wasn't overwhelming.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the jerk sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said the chicken was very flavorful and juicy. I think next time I'll try using less Scotch bonnet pepper.

I've tried many jerked chicken recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The marinade is packed with flavor, and the chicken comes out perfectly cooked every time. I love serving this dish with rice and beans and a side of coleslaw.
