Directions

In a bowl, combine the hot sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, green onions, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove from the grill and serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
