4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 1/4 cups rum
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup chipotles in adobo sauce (I will use 1 T. chipotles)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
Oil, for oiling grill grates

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add the chicken thighs to a large bowl and pour over 1/4 cup of the rum. Add the basil, rosemary, thyme, seafood seasoning, cayenne and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir to coat. Set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, chipotles, butter and the remaining 1 cup rum. Simmer over low heat until the chipotles have dissolved. Remove from the heat; reserve half of the sauce in a separate bowl. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until grill marks form, turning once and brushing with the sauce in the pot every few minutes, 10 minutes total. (Discard the sauce in the pot.) Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet, cover with foil and transfer to the oven. Bake until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Brush with the reserved sauce and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken parts that are bone-in and skin-on. This will help the chicken stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the chicken from steaming.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a nonstick skillet or a roasting pan.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Baste the chicken frequently: Basting the chicken with the hot buttered rum sauce will help keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Serve the chicken immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Hot buttered rum chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of the sweet and savory flavors of the sauce, the tender chicken, and the crispy skin is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
