Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 300 grams
• Jerk seasoning - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix jerk seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped habanero pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, coating them well, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear.
4. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into smaller pieces.
5. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with lime juice and a pinch of salt to create a quick sauce.
6. Toast the slider buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
7. Assemble the sliders by placing lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the sliced jerk chicken. Drizzle the lime mayonnaise on top and cover with the top half of the bun.
