How to Make Jerk Sauce For Grilled Chicken
- Combine 1 scotch bonnet pepper (seeded and roughly chopped), 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 4 cloves garlic, 1 inch ginger (peeled and roughly chopped), and 1/2 cup water in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon allspice, and 1 teaspoon ground thyme to the blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Place chicken pieces in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the jerk sauce over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken on indirect heat for approximately 30 minutes, turning every 5 minutes and basting frequently with the reserved marinade that has been gently simmered in a saucepan on low heat until warmed through (do not boil). Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
