RUM AND CHILE ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PINEAPPLE



Rum and Chile Roasted Chicken Thighs With Pineapple image

This dish, inspired by jerk chicken, uses amber rum to moisten the rub. The resulting dish is complex, mouth tingling but not searing, and softened by the golden cubes of succulent roasted pineapple. It's not quite recognizable as a jerk, but it is no less pleasing.

Time 40m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 scallions, trimmed and chopped
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil
2 tablespoons rum, preferably dark or amber
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 chicken thighs, rinsed and patted very dry
3/4 pound pineapple pieces, diced into 1/4-inch chunks or very roughly chopped
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

Grilled Jerk Chicken With Pineapple-Rum Glaze image

You can really use just about any part of the chicken skin on or off, but I have to say that it is better with the skin left on. Prepare ahead the chicken needs to marinate in the fridge for 3 hours, and if possible use only dark sugar it seems to work better, my family loves this chicken!
