1-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1-1/2 tsp. freshly ground 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

3/4 C. white vinegar
1/2 C. orange juice

1 scotch bonnet pepper,
1 seeded and finely chopped
1 C. chopped white onion
3 green onions, finely chopped
4 chicken breasts (6 to 8 oz. each) trimmed of fat
Cooking Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the allspice, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, garlic powder and sugar. With a wire whisk, slowly add the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, and lime juice. Add the Scotch bonnet pepper, onion, and green onions and mix well. Add the chicken breasts, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, longer if possible. Reserve some of the marinade before you put the chicken in it. Preheat an outdoor grill. Remove the breasts from the marinade and grill for 6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. While grilling, baste with the marinade. Heat the reserved marinade and serve on the side for dipping.
