Caribbean Epis-Marinated Grilled Chicken

A juicy, flavor-packed chicken recipe using our handcrafted Caribbean Epis. This dish is perfect for lunch, dinner, or weekend cookouts — smoky, herby, and full of island flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (cut into pieces) or 2 lbs chicken thighs

• 3–4 tablespoons Epis (Green Seasoning / Sofrito)

• 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon oil (optional, for grilling)

Instructions:

1. Clean & Prep Chicken
   Rinse chicken with water and a splash of lime or vinegar. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. Marinate with Epis
   In a large bowl, coat the chicken pieces with Epis, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Mix well so every piece is fully coated.
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).

3. Grill or Bake

   • Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates and grill chicken for about 6–7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

   • Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken on a lined baking tray and roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through.

4. Serve & Enjoy
   Serve hot with rice and beans, fried plantains, or fresh salad for a complete Caribbean meal!

Tips:

• Add Scotch bonnet pepper to the Epis before marinating if you like it spicy.

• Save leftover cooked chicken for sandwiches, tacos, or wraps!
