I rarely make elaborated chicken wings / chicken thighs at home, but the jerk chicken craving got me experimenting with some new stuff, and it actually worked out. The jerk chicken thighs came out juicy, spicy, with a crispy crunchy tasty skin. Below some guidelines to make your own jerk chicken this weekend. This nice treat takes you on a trip to the Caribbean with rich and bold jerk flavors.

Spiciness level is subjective so feel free to adjust amount of chili / spices to your liking.

This jerk chicken can be served with roasted potatoes, or coco bread (make a sandwich out of it), coleslaw, rice, roasted broccoli or just by itself! Or take it up a notch and make some delicious Caribbean jerk chicken tacos!!
