Welcome to the channel and introduce the dish: jerk chicken.

Gather ingredients: onion, fresh thyme, garlic, spring onions, scotch bonnet peppers, lime, vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, salt, ground allspice, ground cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper.

Place all ingredients into a blender to create a marinade.

Blend until the mixture is a nice paste, ensuring it's not too thin.

Score the chicken thighs to help the marinade penetrate better.

Take the marinade and mix it with the chicken, ensuring it's well coated.

Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

After marinating, place the chicken in a baking tray, adding a bit of oil on top.

Bake the chicken in the oven for about 30 minutes, checking to ensure it is fully cooked before removing.

Garnish the finished dish with spring onion and red pepper.
