Preparation Details

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 8 hrs 30 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 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

1. 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.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken; reserve marinade.
3. 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).
4. 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.
