  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 6 skewers 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Jerk Seasoning:

  • 2 tsp dry chives
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 tsp dark red paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp all spice
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp dehydrated onion flakes
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp black pepper

For the chicken:

  • 2 limes
  • 1 C chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs

Instructions

  1. Cut all chicken thighs in half lengthways
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine juice of limes, cilantro and oil.
  3. Marinate the chicken thighs for at least 2 hours.
  4. Remove chicken thighs and place on skewers. Coat both sides heavily with Jerk spice mixture and grill on open flame until cooked to at least 165°.

Notes

  • We recommend using chicken thighs for this recipe because they are moist and juicy, and they absorb the jerk flavors very well.
