CARIBBEAN JERK CHICKEN 
1 tbsp. ground allspice
1 tbsp. dried leaf thyme
1 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. ground sage
3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tbsp. salt
2 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. soy sauce
3/4 c. white vinegar
1/2 c. orange juice
1/4 c. fresh lime juice
1 Scotch Bonnet pepper
1 c. finely chopped white onion
3 green onions, finely chopped
4 (6-8 oz.) whole chicken breasts, skinned and boned

In medium sized bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients including the sugar. Mixing with wire whisk, slowly add olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, orange and lime juices. Use rubber or plastic gloves to prepare hot pepper (jalapeno or serrano may be substituted). Avoid touching face or eyes! Add chopped pepper and chopped onions to marinade; mix well.

Spread 2 cups marinade in glass baking dish. Add chicken to coat in marinade. Cover and marinade at least 1 hour (overnight is best). Reserve 3/4 cup of marinade as a dipping sauce. On grill, cook chicken over medium to high heat 6 minutes each side. Baste with excess drained marinade.

Heat reserved marinade that has not touched chicken. Serve as a dipping sauce.

Very Good recipe. Best wings I have ever made. Marinated for a day and a half and cooked on the grill. FANTASTIC!

The best recipe ever! I would throw in a little bit of honey in the mix in order to get a sticky marinade. Good job.

Very good marinade, would not go as far as to call it caribbean jerk though, my husband is Caribbean and although this marinade is delicious its not jerk.. I would also recommend some honey for a better consistency the marinade is too saucy.
