Plate-Licking Good

This chicken was excellent! My husband is actually from the Caribbean, and he loved it, and my 2 year old cleaned her plate, and that's saying something! It did need a little longer to cook than noted on the thicker pieces, but it was sooo amazingly tender. I listened to earlier reviews and nixed the coffee, and I used twice the amount of fresh garlic called for. I used pre-squeezed lime juice because I had it on hand. It was perfect, but I want to make it even better. Next time, I'm going to add more brown sugar for a thicker glaze, and use fresh lime to get some of the pulp in there. Don't skimp on the rum! I was afraid because it smelled so strongly at first, but now I wish I'd used more. It was polished off with no leftovers and even the serving plate was licked clean!

AMAZING with Chicken or Pork!!!!!!

I have made this recipe several times already and each time, it gets better and better. I omitted the allspice and ginger because I don't care for them. I have also used regular bbq sauce, as well as a Hot Pepper Chipotle Raspberry saucein place of ketchup and it still came out amazing. This is definitely a family favorite now! I tend to make it at least once a week, alternating pork and chicken. It's amazing and one of the best recipes I have found on this site!

Excellent

I made this dish last night for my family. It was a huge hit. The chicken was cooked perfectly... very tender and juicy and the glaze was delicious. If you're making this dish, be careful with the all-spice, it can overpower the entire dish. I also found that we could have used a bit more glaze. There was enough to cover the pieces of chicken, but my family and I love to dip. It was easy enough though to make a little extra.
