1. Step 1

   Start by placing your chicken chunks in a medium bowl and covering them with water and fresh lime juice.

2. Step 2

   Let them soak for a bit to absorb those zesty flavors.

   While the chicken is soaking, grab your blender and toss in some vegetable oil, allspice, thyme, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, ginger, and nutmeg.

4. Step 4

   Blend these ingredients together until they form a well-mixed marinade that smells absolutely divine.

5. Step 5

   Next, add in the chopped onions, green onions, fiery habanero peppers, and garlic.

6. Step 6

   Blend again until the mixture is almost smooth, creating a vibrant and aromatic marinade.

   Give the chicken a good stir to ensure every piece is coated in that flavorful goodness.
