There’s nothing quite like the smoky, spicy, and soulful flavor of jerk chicken—and now, you can recreate that magic right at home with our signature Jollof Vibes recipe. Whether you’re new to Caribbean cooking or just craving that island flavor, this recipe is the perfect place to start.

🌶️ Ingredients:

• 4 chicken leg quarters (or thighs & drumsticks)

• 2 Scotch bonnet peppers (or habaneros)

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 4 garlic cloves

• 1 tbsp fresh thyme

• 1 tsp ground allspice

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp nutmeg

• 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• Juice of 1 lime

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 2 tbsp vinegar

• 1 tbsp oil

• Salt and black pepper to taste

🔥 Instructions:

1. Blend the marinade: Combine peppers, onion, garlic, thyme, spices, lime juice, soy sauce, vinegar, and oil in a blender until smooth.

2. Marinate the chicken: Score the chicken pieces and coat them with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3. Grill or bake:

   • Grill: Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 30–40 minutes until charred and cooked through.

   • Oven: Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 45–50 minutes. For extra char, broil in the last 5 minutes.

4. Serve hot with Jollof rice, fried plantains, or coleslaw.

✨ Pro Tip:

Add a little smoked paprika or grill over pimento wood chips if you want that authentic smoky Jamaican flavor.

Bring the heat. Bring the vibes. Bring Jollof Vibes to your table.
