Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Jamaican Jerk Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Equipment

  • 1 large bowl For mixing the marinade and chicken
  • 1 whisk For blending the marinade smoothly
  • 1 Grill Medium-high heat
  • 1 Tongs For flipping the chicken
  • 1 Instant-read thermometer Optional, for checking doneness
  • 1 Knife For slicing onion and garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them in a large bowl or resealable bag.
  2. 2. Whisk together the Jamaican Jerk Infused Olive Oil Blend, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, thyme, allspice, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. 3. Pour the marinade over the chicken and turn to coat well. Add the sliced onion if using, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  4. 4. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  5. 5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off. Grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side, flipping once, until nicely charred and cooked through.
  6. 6. Grill the onion slices for a few minutes until softened and lightly browned, if desired.
  7. 7. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. 8. Finish with chopped parsley and lime wedges, then serve warm.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the chicken long enough for the jerk seasoning to settle into the meat, but avoid over-marinating past 4 hours so the texture stays tender. If grilling outdoors isn’t possible, a grill pan or cast-iron skillet works well indoors. Keep the heat steady so the marinade caramelizes without burning.
