Instructions

Combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, jerk seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
Add the chicken thighs and ensure they’re well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Avoid skipping the marinating step for best flavor. Opt for skin-on, bone-in thighs for moisture.
