Instructions

Combine salt, garlic powder, sugar, allspice, thyme, cayenne, black pepper, sage, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
While beating with a wire whisk, slowly add vinegar, orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, and lime juice.
Add onion, green onions, and chile pepper then mix well. Add chicken breasts, cover, and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Reserve.
Cook chicken on the preheated grill, basting with the reserved marinade frequently until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
