Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ green onion, minced
¼ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno peppers
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Combine green onion, orange juice, ginger, jalapeno, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves in resealable container. Seal and shake to combine. Add chicken and coat; marinate for 8 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken; reserve marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, turning halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 170 degrees F (77 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, bring reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Drizzle over cooked chicken.
