mojito grilled chicken

4 chicken pieces
drumsticks or breast on the bone
3 tbsp mint or white rum
limes or basmati rice or crisp green salad
to serve sliced avocado

Method

step 1
Put the chicken pieces in a ziploc bag with the mint sprigs. mix the rum, lime zest and juice and sugar and add it to the bag along with some seasoning. Close the bag and massage in the marinade. marinate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 24 hours.
step 2
heat the grill. Lay the chicken pieces on a grill rack set over a roasting tin and grill on both sides until the pieces are cooked through – this may take up to 25 minutes for bigger pieces. if there are any marinade juices left in the bag you can use them to baste the chicken but cook it well after using them – don’t finish the chicken with it. serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
