Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 2 habanero peppers, stemmed
• 3 green onions, roughly chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Place chicken in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Combine green onions, habanero peppers, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, allspice, nutmeg, and thyme in a food processor; pulse until smooth. Pour mixture over chicken in the bag, seal, and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Step 3

Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade. Grill chicken until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 16 minutes, turning chicken about halfway. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
