How to Make A Jerky Chicken

In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1 finely chopped habanero pepper (remove seeds for less heat).
Add 2 pounds of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in a baking dish.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Baste with the marinade halfway through cooking.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with rice and your favorite sides.
