Steps:

• Combine the oil, thyme, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, allspice, scallions, garlic, chiles, ginger, shallot, lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a food processor and pulse until you have a coarse paste; this is the marinade.

• Cover the grill and close the air vents halfway so the temperature remains around 350 degrees F. Cook until the sweet potatoes are soft and the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more.
