• 35 mls of dark rum
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 2 bay leafs
• 1 Tbls Minced Garlic
• Pinch of Salt

Mix it all together in a bowl with the chicken and marinate over night ideally, but anything over 2 hours will do!

On a baking try , cook the chicken at 180c for 35-40 mins until cooked throughout.
