Ingredients

7 pounds chicken pieces, excluding wings, washed and dried

½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice

¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice

¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

½ cup dark rum (Michele uses Meyer’s Rum)

6 garlic cloves, chopped

3 tablespoons brown sugar

3 Chipotle chilies, canned or re-hydrated in vinegar

3 red peppers, seeded and chopped

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons cider vinegar

¼ cup olive oil

2 large mangos, peeled, pitted and cut into 1 inch pieces

3 ripe bananas, peeled and cut on the bias into thick pieces

1 pineapple, peeled and sliced

juice of 1 lime

vegetable oil for the grill

salt and freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish.

In a blender, combine the citrus juices, rum, garlic, sugar, chipotles, red peppers, onion, vinegar and olive oil.

Pulse gently.

Pour marinade over the chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight,

Turn the chicken once.

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.

Preheat grill.

Place the mango pieces, banana slices and pineapple on a sheet of foil and brush with lime juice. Set aside.

When the grill is ready, brush with vegetable oil.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Place the chicken pieces, cavity side down, on the grill and cook for 10 minutes.

Baste and turn chicken every 5 minutes for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.

Lightly brush the fruits with melted butter.

Set the foil on the grill during the last 10 minutes of cooking time. Perforate the foil to allow the heat to reach the fruit, then fold the foil into a packet and cook until the fruit is slightly limp and lightly charred.

Place the chicken on a platter and arrange the fruit along the edges. Yields 6 to 8 servings

OK. The chicken & all those fruits & chipotle would have been fine -- but it was the rum that sealed this one for me :) Great post, TY, Conner :)
