Preparation method

Prep: 3 hours | Cook: 20 mins

Add lime juice, orange juice, oil, thyme, rosemary, brown sugar, green onions, garlic, allspice, and Scotch Bonnet pepper to a non-reactive baking dish large enough to hold all the chicken. Mix well.

Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat. Cover and marinate 3-5 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Remove chicken, discard marinade, and season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

Grill, skin side down, for about 10 minutes. Turn the chicken and place on the side of the grill (or cooler part) and close the cover of the grill.

Continue cooking another 10-15 minutes, or until completely cooked through.
