Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine jerk seasoning, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil.
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then coat them in the marinade.
Rest at least 20 minutes, or refrigerate longer for deeper flavor.
2. Cook the Chicken
Oven:
-
Preheat to 400°F (205°C).
-
Arrange chicken on a baking sheet.
-
Bake 30–40 minutes until golden and cooked through.
-
Brush with extra sweet chili sauce during the last 10 minutes for a glossy finish.
Air Fryer (optional):
-
380°F (193°C) for 16–20 minutes, flipping once.
3. Make the Mashed Potatoes
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender.
Drain, mash with butter and warm milk/cream.
Season to taste.
4. Cook the Broccolini
Toss broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, sauté in a pan, or air fry until crisp-tender.
5. Serve
Spoon creamy mashed potatoes onto the plate, add the roasted broccolini, and top with the sweet chili jerk chicken. Pour over any extra glaze from the pan.
If you want, I can also give you:
• a spicier version
• a milder family-friendly version
• a one-pan version where everything cooks together
