JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN

2 Scotch bonnet chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced

6 green onions, sliced

1 medium onion, diced

3/4 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons fresh thyme

1 teaspoon crushed whole cloves

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black peppercorns

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/2 pounds skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

Combine all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a blender or food processor and process for 10 to 15 seconds at high speed to form a marinade. Pour the marinade into a nonreactive bowl, add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours. Remove the chicken and drain off any excess marinate. Place on an oiled grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is done.
