Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, or preheat the broiler. While it is heating, prepare the sauce: in a small bowl, combine the garlic, scallions, chili, salt, allspice and oil. Add ½ cup boiling water; stir and set aside.
Step 2
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, and grill or broil, turning 2 or 3 times, until it is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Taste the sauce, and add more chili, salt, pepper or allspice if needed. Stir in the lime juice. Serve the chicken hot or at room temperature, passing the sauce at the table.

Thought the sauce wasn't very interesting, so added a little Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and fresh cilantro, and it really was delicious! Our plan is to use the leftover chicken and sauce on a salad of hearty greens for an easy lunch some day soon!

Made this exactly as described except I didn't have allspice on hand so I used cinnamon. The chicken was tender and the sauce added just the right complement.
