5 lbs bone in chicken thighs
MARINADE:
1 onion, quartered
2 scotch bonnet pepper, seeded
1 bunch of green onions
1 Tbsp jerk chicken seasoning (I used Penzy’s)
2 limes, juiced
1 Tbsp honey
SMOKE (optional):
1 cup of applewood or hickory chips
Heavy duty foil
Water
Directions
1. Process all the ingredients for the marinade in a food processor and pour half over the chicken (save the other half) and mix well. Marinate for 2 to 24 hours.
2. Soak the wood chips in water 30 minutes before you are ready to grill. Then, when you are ready to cook, first preheat the grill to medium high heat and then transfer the wet chips (drain the water) to a large piece of heavy duty foil and fold it up to make a packet. Poke a bunch of holes in the top and place the packet on your grill burner (hole side up) or on the hot coals of your grill. Let it start smoking (should take about 10 to 15 minutes)
3. Spray the chicken with EVOO and grill for about 25 to 30 minutes (until cooked through) basing occasionally with the left over marinade.
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato cut into 1/2 inch slices
EVOO spray
Garlic salt and pepper (or any seasoning you like), to taste
Directions
1. Spray both sides of each slice with EVOO spray and season with garlic salt and pepper. Grill over medium high heat until just beginning to char. (I want to say about 25 minutes but this will vary with the temp and type of grill. Just keep an eye on them as you are cooking the chicken.)
Everything about that dinner is appealing. I really like the addition of collards. Yum!
I LOVE everything about this meal!!!!!

Oh, okay… so you are not vegan. I am disappointed, a bit. I guess I won’t subscribe to your blog, then, but I will visit occasionally to see if you have posted any more recipes from people who do avoid meat, dairy, and eggs. You have some awesome recipes, here.
Hi There Sue! I replied in a previous comment on another post but I will reply here too. As you found out later – I used to eat meat and dairy and then woke up and chose to forgo the meat and dairy for a plant based diet down the road after I began blogging.
