EASY Chargrilled Chicken turned into a DELICIOUS Jerk Chicken Sandwich

How I turn cheap boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a $20 Jerk Chicken Sandwich.

Chicken thighs go directly into a jerk marinade, then put directly on a charcoal grill and seasoned with more Jerk Seasoning... and glazed with a Jerk Sauce until chargrilled and caramelized. Then this Jerk Chicken is sliced and put on a toasted brioche bun with an Island Slaw and a Calypso Sauce.

Ingredients

- Jerk Marinade
- 3 green onions chopped
- 2 scotch bonnet peppers (more if you like it hot!)
- 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1/2 Tablespoon black pepper

Directions:
1. Place the boneless skinless chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Close the bag and gently toss to coat each thigh. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

3. Add the marinated chicken to the hot side of the grill working in batches. Season with additional jerk seasoning right on the grill.
4. Flip and turn the chicken often until internal temp reaches 165.
5. Brush each piece with the jerk glaze - recipe above.
6. Continue to cook until the thighs reach 175 internal - it should be slightly charred and sticky from the glaze.

I have watched some hotshot chefs like Gordon Ramsey, etc, on YouTube, and I am convinced none of them compare to Malcom in any way. In my opinion, Malcom has the best cooking channel on YouTube. I watch him almost everyday. Thanks for sharing Malcom💕
