¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 2-3 limes
1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¾ teaspoon garam masala (substitute curry powder if you can't find it)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 ½ teaspoons fresh grated ginger
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less if you don't like heat)
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 scallions, light and dark green parts only thinly sliced

1
In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except for the chicken and scallions.
2
Set 1/4 cup of the marinade aside and cover (you'll use this later for the sauce), then place the rest in a zip-lock freezer bag with the chicken thighs.
3
Be sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade, then place the bag in the refrigerator (in a bowl in case of leakage); let marinate for 3-4 hours.
4
Preheat grill to high heat.
5
Grease the grill.
6
(Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; then, using tongs, carefully rub the towels over the grates several times until glossy and coated.)
7
Place the chicken on the grill; cover and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and done.
8
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, then top with the reserved marinade and sliced scallions.
