How to Make Barbecue Bbq Or Baked Spiced Rum Caribbean Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients (see below).
  3. Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. **For Oven Baking:** Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil cooking spray. Transfer marinated chicken to the dish. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
  5. Stir the chicken, cover, and bake for another 45 minutes.
  6. Uncover, stir, and bake for a final 10 minutes to brown.
  7. Serve over fluffy jasmine rice.
  8. **For BBQ Grilling:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
  9. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, basting continuously with the remaining marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
