Steps:

• Plum Sauce: Use side burner or grill. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add ginger, chile pepper, cinnamon and cloves and cook for 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook until plums are soft and mixture has thickened. Place mixture in a food processor and mix until smooth. Let cool.

Turn the chicken over, brush with the sauce and continue grilling for 3 to 4 minutes, turn over and brush with sauce. Continue grilling and brushing with the sauce until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.

GRILLED SPICED CHICKEN AND PLUMS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon allspice, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste; transfer to a large bowl and toss with 1 garlic clove, 2 tablespoons olive oil and half of the lemon juice. Toss the plums with 1 teaspoon olive oil, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon allspice and a pinch each of cayenne and salt in another large bowl.
• Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until marked, 10 minutes. Cover and continue grilling until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (Move the chicken to a cooler part of the grill if it's getting too dark.) Grill the plums, flipping, until slightly softened, 5 minutes.

Remove 3 tablespoons of the mixture to a separate large bowl; add the chicken and toss to coat. Add the plums to the remaining hoisin mixture and toss to coat.
• Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and grill until marked and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes per side; transfer to a large plate. Place the plums cut-side down on the grill; cook until just softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the chicken.

LEMON AND THYME GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

Cook until undersides are browned and chicken is about halfway cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip breasts and grill until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Transfer chicken to a platter. Drizzle with oil and garnish with additional lemon juice, olive oil and basil or mint leaves.
