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

Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 3

Combine green onions, lime juice, habaneros, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, allspice, nutmeg, and thyme in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until smooth. Pour mixture into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step 4

Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in centers and juices run clear, about 16 minutes, flipping about halfway. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
