2 fluid ounces rum

1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon ground clove
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon ground ginger
-
1 teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
-
1 (3 pound) whole chicken

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, rum, and brown sugar. Set the sauce aside.
-
Combine cayenne pepper, clove, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, salt, and thyme leaves in a bowl. Rub the chicken with oil, then coat evenly with the spice blend.

Place the chicken in a roasting pan and bake for about 90 minutes, until the juices run clear or a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 180°F.
