Description

Flavorful way to grill chicken. Don't be afraid of the peppers and hot sauce - the taste after grilling is still relatively mild. Please use free range chicken if your market carries it fresh. Goes perfect with brown rice and grilled zucchini.

Ingredients

1 cup rum
5 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
12 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
7 drops hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™) to taste
1 serrano pepper, finely chopped
4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

1 In a bowl, mix the rum, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, thyme, salt, pepper, hot pepper sauce, and serrano pepper. Pierce the chicken on all sides with a fork. Place chicken in a shallow container, and cover with the marinade. Seal container, and marinate chicken in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
2 Preheat grill for high heat.
3 Lightly oil grill grate. Discard marinade and place chicken on the grill. Cook 8 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.
