Ingredients

– 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
– 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey

– Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating Baked Jamaican Pineapple Jerk Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Prepare the Baking Dish: In a baking dish, arrange the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up. Scatter the pineapple chunks around the chicken.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Baste the Chicken: Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with the juices from the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
7. Rest and Garnish: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
