Grilled ginger chicken

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 pounds Chicken legs
2 To 3 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
2 teaspoons Salt
4 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lime juice (about 3 limes)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup Rum
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
½ Inch piece fresh ginger root, finely chopped
¼ cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Rinse the chicken and dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken with the garlic and salt; place in a non-metallic dish or a heavy plastic bag.

Combine the remaining ingredients and add to the chicken. Marinate in a cool place for at least one hour or refrigerate for up to two days.

Prepare the grill. When the coals are medium hot, drain the chicken and cook over the coals, turning after 10 minutes and basting them frequently with the marinade, for a total of 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown. If the chicken is browning too quickly, move to a cooler part of the grill.

Serve hot or at room temperature.

Serves six.
