Step by Step Method

Step 1

Marinade: Work the ginger, garlic, brown sugar and salt into a paste with a mortar and pestle, mix with the remaining marinade ingredients in a large re-sealable plastic bag.

Step 2

Add the chicken to the marinade and seal the bag removing as much of the air as possible; swish together to coat and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight turning every few hours.

Step 3

Whisk together the jerk seasoning paste and avocado oil and set aside.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from marinade and place on a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper, brush all over with the coating paste mixture and cook in a preheated 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 1 hour 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and the skin is crispy. This will depend on how thick your chicken thighs are.

Step 5

Enjoy!

I did this on the outdoor grill, cooked to 170F. This one was also perfect.

We really enjoyed this jerk chicken. We couldn't find the Grace Jerk Chicken Paste anywhere so we found a recipe on the internet for jerk chicken paste and used it. The paste had scotch bonnet pepper and it turned out nice and spicy for the men in my family.

I used the mild paste and just a smidgen of chili powder and it had enough pizazz for us. It was full of flavor and delicious! I made jasmin rice and grilled pineapple to go with it. Loved it and so did my family!
