Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken thighs or drumsticks
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon thyme (dried)
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together pineapple juice, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, allspice, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the marinade is well combined.
Place the chicken thighs or drumsticks into a large resealable freezer bag or container.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or container, removing as much air as possible.
At this point, you can freeze the chicken for later use or let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) before cooking.
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If the chicken was frozen, allow it to fully thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Transfer the chicken and marinade to a large baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown on top.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or your favorite Caribbean side dishes. Enjoy!
