Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 6 green onions chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 Jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
- Add the chicken to a large bowl or ziploc bag (put that bag in a bowl in case of leakage).
- In a food processor add the green onions, onion, jalapeno, soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable oil, brown sugar, thyme, cloves, nutmeg and allspice and puree until smooth.
- Add the marinade to the chicken and leave for as long as you can, up to 24 hours.
- Heat your grill of choice, indoor or outdoor onto medium high heat.
- Lightly oil (I use canola oil on a paper towel and wipe it on my grilling surface).
- Grill on each side for 5-7 minutes (depending on the thickness of your chicken), until the chicken is completely cooked through.
