Ingredients:
- 4 pounds of chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or wings)
- 4 tablespoons of Scott Bourbon Jerk Sauce
- 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to your preferred level of spiciness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prep the chicken:
- Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Make a few shallow cuts in each piece to help the marinade penetrate the meat.
- Whip up the marinade:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the juice of one lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, allspice, paprika, dried thyme, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Squeeze the juice of the second lemon into the bowl and give it all a good stir.
- Marinate the chicken:
- Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight for maximum flavor).
- Preheat the grill:
- Fire up your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, ensure the coals are white and glowing.
- Get grillin’:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down.
- Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for juicy, fully cooked chicken.
- Brush on the magic:
- As the chicken cooks, baste it generously with Scott Bourbon Jerk Sauce on both sides.
- Continue grilling and basting, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is beautifully charred and cooked through.
- Serve and savor:
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve your sizzlin’ Lemon Bourbon Jerk Chicken hot off the grill, garnished with some freshly chopped cilantro or green onions, if desired.
