Ingredients

    1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
    2 oz rum
    1 Tbsp brown sugar
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/4 tsp ground clove
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp ground ginger
    1 tsp black pepper
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
    1 (3 pound) whole chicken
    1 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, rum, and brown sugar; set aside. Mix together the cayenne pepper, clove, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, salt, and thyme leaves. Brush the chicken with oil, then coat with the spice mixture.
Place in a roasting pan, and bake about 90 minutes, until the juices run clear or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F. Baste the chicken with the sauce every 20 minutes while it's cooking. Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
