  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 24 minute

Ingredients

– 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
– 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
– 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 lime, juiced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Baked Jamaican Pineapple Jerk Chicken:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-lock bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for maximum flavor).
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in the dish, skin side up.
5. Add Pineapple: Scatter the pineapple chunks around the chicken in the baking dish.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
7. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5-10 minutes.
9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the chicken and pineapple before serving for an added burst of flavor.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious and visually appealing dish that embodies the essence of Jamaican cuisine.
