Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to high. Brush grill grate with oil

Whisk all ingredients for the mojo together in a bowl; set aside.

Combine sugar and spices for the chicken in a bowl, then rub chicken with the spice mixture.

Lightly coat bananas and chicken with nonstick spray. Grill the chicken and orange halves for 5 minutes, then turn the chicken over and baste with mojo. Transfer oranges to a platter off heat. Cook chicken 5 minutes more, or until cooked through, turning and basting once or twice. A few minutes before chicken is done, grill the bananas, basting with mojo sauce and turning often to char. Cut bananas into chunks before serving.
