Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken thighs (about 4-6 thighs)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsps Caribbean Jerk seasoning (I used McCormick's) plus more to sprinkle over top if desired
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • Optional: ground red pepper to add heat
Instructions

  1. Pat both sides of the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

    Note: If you prefer less skin, trim the excess skin on the bottom of each thigh using kitchen scissors leaving just the skin on the top

  2. Combine the Caribbean Jerk seasoning, baking powder, kosher salt, pepper, and ground red pepper if using. Rub on both sides of the chicken thighs. Sprinkle more Caribbean Jerk seasoning over top if desired.

  3. Place the chicken skin side up on a wire rack over a lined baking sheet. Put in a 475 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temp to 425 and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
