Smoked Caribbean Jerk Chicken Thighs are marinated overnight in a Caribbean Jerk marinade and smoked for hours for extra yumminess!
- 5 to 6 pounds bone in, skin on chicken thighs (approx 10 thighs)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 Tbsps Caribbean Jerk seasoning (good quality store bought or homemade recipe in post above)
- 1 Tbsp garlic paste or minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp ginger paste
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes
-
Trim any extra skin from the chicken thighs if needed. Place the thighs in a gallon size plastic bag.
-
Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, Caribbean Jerk seasoning, garlic, ginger, lime juice, kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to a bowl and whisk until evenly mixed.
-
Pour the sauce into the bag with the chicken and massage until evenly mixed. Place the bag in the fridge for 24 hours, massage and turn the bag a few times as it marinates.

Set your smoker to 250 degrees and place the chicken in the smoker. Smoke them 1 1/2 hours and flip them over, smoke another 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the temp is at 170 degrees.
