Grilled chicken thighs with spicy jerk marinade!

I love grilled chicken, but I get tired of same old same old barbeque sauce.  This is a tasty option that will satisfy your tastebuds.  I love this marinade for my chicken thighs, but don’t limit yourself, chicken breast and chicken legs work well too!     

Spicy Jerk Marinade

     

Ingredients: 

• ½ cup canola oil
• ¼ cup lime juice
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ½ yellow onion, chopped
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• ½ tsp thyme
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• ¼ tsp. Ground ginger
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 Thai chilis, chopped*
• ½ tsp. black pepper
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. allspice
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

1. Combine all the ingredients except chicken in a large bowl.  Stir until all ingredients are combined.  Pour ingredients into a resealable bag. 
2. Add the chicken to the bag.  Close the bag and roll the chicken in the marinade to cover all the chicken.
3. Marinade for 8 to 12 hours.
4. Grill your favorite chicken.

Notes:

*I love using Thai chili peppers, but you can use serrano or jalapeños too.  If you can’t take the heat, don’t use any!
