2 tablespoons Gin
¼ teaspoon Dried oregano; crumbled
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Sugar
3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
2 Whole skinless boneless chicken breasts; (about 1/2 pound

Grill the chicken, reserving the marinade, on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 7 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through. While the chicken is grilling, in a heavy skillet combine the reserved marinade and the onions and boil the mixture, covered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until the onions begin to brown. Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook the mixture, uncovered, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a heated platter and with a slotted spoon scatter the onions around it.
