What it is
These are fully cooked chicken thighs marinated in a vibrant jerk seasoning blend.

They are pre-seasoned and ready to be heated, offering a convenient way to enjoy the complex flavors of Jamaican jerk cuisine.
How people cook with it
These chicken thighs are perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. They can be served as a main course or incorporated into other dishes.
- Serve over rice and peas.
- Add to tacos or wraps.
- Top a fresh salad.
- Enjoy with grilled vegetables.
To prepare, simply heat the chicken thighs until they are warmed through. This can be done in an oven, skillet, or microwave. For oven heating, place them on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated. In a skillet, cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Microwaving is the fastest option, usually taking 2-3 minutes. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly heated before serving.
