- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground allspice

In a food processor, puree chile, scallions, garlic, thyme, brown sugar, allspice, soy sauce, lime juice, and oil. In a large zip-top bag, toss chicken with paste. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
