Instructions

1. 1
   Place chicken in a medium bowl. Cover with water and lime juice. Set aside.
2. 2
   Place oil, allspice, thyme, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, ginger, and nutmeg in a blender; blend until well combined. Add onions, green onions, habanero peppers, and garlic; blend until almost smooth.
3. 3
   Pour most of the blended marinade mixture into the bowl with chicken, reserving a small amount to use as a basting sauce while cooking. Stir chicken until well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
4. 4
   Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
5. 5
   Cook chicken slowly on the preheated grill, turning frequently and basting often with reserved marinade mixture, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).LynnInHK
