Instructions

  • Remove and discard seeds from jalapeño peppers. Place in a food processor or blender. Peel and slice onion into quarters and add. Process with an on-and-off motion until very finely chopped. Add remaining ingredients, except chicken. Process, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides, until mixture is puréed.

  • When ready to barbecue, preheat barbecue and lightly oil grill. Grill chicken, uncovered, about 10 minutes per side, until golden and springy to the touch.
