Sticky Jerk Chicken Thighs with Charred Pineapple
🔥 Sticky Jerk Chicken Thighs with Charred Pineapple
Juicy chicken thighs, a sticky jerk-spiced glaze and sweet charred pineapple make this an easy dinner with a proper Caribbean-inspired kick. Our Jerk Seasoning brings the heat, warmth and savoury depth, while lime keeps everything fresh and lively.
🥣 Ingredients
- 600g boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp Spice & Dipity Jerk Seasoning
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 lime, zest and juice
- 250g fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- Cooked rice, to serve
🍳 Instructions
- Mix the Jerk Seasoning, oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest and half the lime juice. Coat the chicken thoroughly and leave for 15 minutes if you have time.
- Heat a large frying pan or griddle over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until deeply coloured, sticky and cooked through.
- Add the pineapple to the pan for the final few minutes and cook until golden and lightly charred around the edges.
- Squeeze over the remaining lime juice and scatter with spring onion.
- Serve immediately with rice and the sticky pan juices spooned over the top.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Serve with coconut rice, a crisp slaw or grilled corn. Extra lime wedges on the table are perfect for balancing the warmth of the jerk seasoning.
💚 Why This Recipe Works
Sweet pineapple and brown sugar caramelise against the savoury, spicy jerk coating, while lime cuts through the richness of the chicken thighs. It is bold, colourful and very easy to make.
