Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken thighs, bone-in skin-on
  • 3 tablespoons Jerk seasoning paste
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon Allspice
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the jerk paste, olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and spices.

  3. 3

    Coat the chicken thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring it gets under the skin; marinate for at least 30 minutes if time permits.

  4. 4

    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

  5. 5

    Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin-side down.

  6. 6

    Air fry for 12 minutes, then flip the chicken to skin-side up.

  7. 7

    Cook for an additional 10-13 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is charred.

  8. 8

    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
