A flavorful and aromatic Caribbean-inspired chicken recipe, perfect for grilling or broiling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, chili powder, garlic powder, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes, cumin, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, salt, and sugar.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Add the chopped onion and green pepper to the spice mixture and stir to combine.
Finely chopping the vegetables helps them blend better with the marinade.
Cut each chicken breast into 4-6 strips and place them in the marinade.
Cutting the chicken into strips allows for quicker and more even cooking.
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor as the spices penetrate the meat.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Preheating ensures the chicken cooks evenly and achieves a nice char.
Cook the chicken strips on the grill or under the broiler for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy and tender.
Serve the chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as rice or a fresh salad.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
