A flavorful and spicy grilled chicken recipe inspired by Caribbean cuisine.
Mix all the dry spices and sugar in a bowl.
Ensure the spices are evenly mixed for a consistent flavor.
Add the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and lime juice to the spice mix and whisk until combined.
Whisking helps emulsify the liquids for a smooth marinade.
Chop the scotch bonnet pepper and green onions, then stir them into the marinade.
Wear gloves when handling scotch bonnet peppers to avoid irritation.
Place the chicken breasts in a ziploc bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the marinade.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh lime wedges for added zest.
