- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt
- Put the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag, add the Worcestershire sauce and oil and seal.

- Light a grill.
- Put the pecans in a pie plate and bake for 7 minutes, or until golden brown; let cool.

- Pour 1 tablespoon of the melted butter into a small bowl.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill them over a medium-hot fire until nicely charred, about 4 minutes.
