To make  marinade, place marinade ingredients in food processor  or blender and process until pureed. Place 2/3 cup  mixture in small serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate  until serving time. Place remaining marinade in a  non-metallic dish or resealable plastic bag. Add  chicken, turn to coat evenly. Cover or close bag and  marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes or as long  as a day.

Preheat grill and lightly coat with oil or cooking  spray. Remove chicken from marinade. Place marinade in  small saucepan and heat just to boiling. Set aside to  use for basting chicken. Place chicken on prepared grill  4 to 6 inches from source of heat. Grill 10 to 12  minutes, or until no longer pink inside, turning once  and basting with marinade. Place green onions on grill  and cook about 7 to 10 minutes until well browned,  turning and basting with marinade. Remove chicken and  onions to serving platter and garnish with lime wedges  if desired. Serve with reserved sauce.
