De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1
Score the chicken thighs a few times on the skin side to help the marinade penetrate.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: Be careful not to cut too deep, just through the skin and a little into the meat.
2
Combine the scotch bonnet peppers, yellow onion, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, allspice berries, thyme, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a blender or food processor.
Ongeveer 3 min
3
Blend the marinade ingredients until a smooth paste forms.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: Add a tiny splash of water if needed to help it blend.
4
Rub the jerk marinade generously all over the chicken thighs, ensuring it gets into the scored cuts.
Ongeveer 3 min
Tip van de kok: Wear gloves when handling scotch bonnet peppers to avoid skin irritation.
5
Place the marinated chicken in a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Tip van de kok: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb.
6
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Ongeveer 10 min
7
Lightly grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
Ongeveer 1 min
8
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Ongeveer 1 min
9
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is nicely browned and crispy.
Ongeveer 45 min
Tip van de kok: An instant-read thermometer should register 74°C (165°F) in the thickest part of the thigh.
10
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Ongeveer 5 min
Tip van de kok: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
