Marinate the meat with garlic, ginger, onion, scotch bonnet peppers, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, thyme, cilantro, bay leaves, black pepper, and salt.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the meat from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Place the meat on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred, about 15-20 minutes for chicken and 20-30 minutes for pork or beef.

Baste with leftover marinade during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve with rice, salad, or your choice of sides.
