Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice (i use 1/2 teaspoon)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 lbs chicken breasts, skinless & bone-in (or legs)
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons dark rum or 2 tablespoons apple juice

Recipe

• 1 in a small bowl, mix thyme, 1 tablespoon melted butter, garlic, paprika, allspice, salt, cayenne and cinnamon.
• 2 rub this mixture all over the chicken and let stand for 20 minutes. you can do this ahead of time & refrigerate it for 24 hours. (personally, i find the flavour gets stronger the longer it's refrigerated.).
• 3 when ready to grill, mix the rum with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• 4 on a greased grill, over medium heat, place the chicken, bone-side down.
• 5 close the lid and grill 25 minutes, brushing once with half the rum mixture.
• 6 turn, and brush with remaining rum mixture.
• 7 grill, covered, until breast is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear when the leg is pierced. this normally takes about 20 minutes.
