  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 2 fluid ounces rum

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground clove

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  3. Mix together the cayenne pepper, clove, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, salt, and thyme leaves. Brush the chicken with oil, then coat with the spice mixture.
