2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons gin
1/4 teaspoon dried orégano, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 whole skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 1/2 pound each)

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.
