Expert Tips

If a dry jerk seasoning or rub is available, use it to save a few minutes. This is a mild jerk seasoning rub; an authentic jerk rub will be spicier. You can substitute 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg for the pumpkin pie spice.

Small boneless skinless chicken breasts can be substituted for the thighs, if you prefer. Or use bone-in thighs.

I love this dish! Honestly, one of the tastiest dishes I have made in a while and even better Day 2. Very satisfying with wonderful flavors! A Hit!
I mixed up my own spices (Ginger, cinnamon, allspice, mace, cayenne, nutmeg) and used dried thyme - perfect

I used a bottled spice mix and it tasted great. So easy to make. It's our new favorite dish.

This was delicious! My fiance was absolutely delighted to have chicken in a totally different way. We had a seasoning, so I used that instead, but I still used thyme, allspice, cayenne, and salt. Very tasty!
