Experience a burst of island flavor with this spicy jerk chicken marinated in an aromatic mix of spices. Perfect for grilling, this dish will transport your taste buds to the tropics!
In a blender, combine scallions, thyme, garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet pepper, allspice, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to make the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is fully coated. Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of rice and peas or a fresh salad.
