Directions

Step 1
In a blender or food processor, combine Scotch bonnet peppers, green onions, thyme, allspice, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar to create the jerk marinade. Process until relatively smooth.
Step 2
Score the chicken thighs and place them in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour the jerk marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Step 3
Prepare the pineapple salsa by combining diced pineapple, red onion, and cilantro in a small bowl. Stir gently and set aside.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard excess marinade). Grill chicken for 25-30 minutes, flipping occasionally, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa.
