Chicken Thigh with the Leg Jerk is a flavorful Caribbean-inspired dish bursting with bold spices and smoky heat. This recipe features chicken thigh and drumstick marinated in a blend of jerk seasoning, which typically includes allspice, thyme, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet peppers, and citrus juice. The marinade not only packs the chicken with intense flavor but also tenderizes the meat for juicy results. Grilled or roasted, this dish is packed with protein, supporting muscle health and repair. It’s often paired with nutrient-rich sides like rice and peas or steamed vegetables.
