1 can frozen orange juice concentrate -- defrosted

6 pieces skinless chicken breast halves -- on the bone

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme -- crushed

3 cloves garlic -- peeled and minced

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon lime peel -- minced

1 teaspoon orange peel -- minced

3 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon canola oil

6 ounces tomato puree
 

Preparation / Directions:


Combine all ingredients except chicken. Place chicken in a glass dish. Reserve 1/3 cup marinade and refrigerate. Pour the remaining marinade over chicken, cover and marinate at least 12 hours or overnight. Turn the chicken occasionally. To finish the chicken: Prepare the grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place chicken on oiled grill. Grill over medium-hot coals until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Turn and brush with reserved marinade. Continue cooking 15 minutes longer. Last brushing with marinade should be 8 to 10 minutes before meat is done. Heat remaining marinade in a small pan on stove to a boil, and serve as a dipping sauce for chicken. This can also be grilled rather than grilled.
