This spice mixture livens up chicken wonderfully and is just as delicious rubbed on fish or pork.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-1/2 tsp paprika
  • 3/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 chicken breasts or chicken legs, skinned (2 lb/1kg total)
  • 2 tbsp dark or amber rum or apple juice

Preparation

In small bowl, combine thyme, half of the butter, the garlic, paprika, allspice, salt, cayenne and cinnamon. Rub spice mixture all over chicken; let stand for 20 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)

In small bowl, combine remaining butter with rum. Place chicken, bone side down, on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, brushing once with half of the rum mixture, for 25 minutes.

Turn and brush with remaining rum mixture; grill, covered, until breast is no longer pink inside and/or juices run clear when leg is pierced, about 20 minutes.
