Ingredients
4 jalapenos, or other small hot peppers
1 small onion
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
1 tsp hot pepper sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp dry mustard
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp allspice
6 halves skinless, boneless chicken breasts
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.
Arrange chicken in a single layer in a shallow dish. Spoon half of puréed mixture over top. Turn chicken and spoon on remaining mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
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.
