List of Ingredients




posted by Linda Roth the boss

1/2 C. fresh lime juice
1/2 C. fresh orange juice
1/3 C. dark rum
4 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tsp. grated lime peel (with no white included)
2 tsp. grated orange peel (with no white included)
2 T. white vinegar
2 1/2 T. light brown sugar
4 1/2 lb. chicken drumsticks and thighs,
rinsed and patted dry
Salt and freshly-ground pepper
1 1/2 T. extra-virgin olive oil
1 papaya, peeled, seeded and diced



Recipe



Combine lime and orange juices, rum, garlic, lime and orange zests, vinegar and
sugar in a blender and process until smooth. Prick the chicken all over with the
tines of a fork and rub generously with salt and pepper. Place in a large bowl
and toss with the lime-orange marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
for 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Place chicken in a large roasting pan, reserving the
marinade. Brush the chicken with oil and bake for 15 minutes until it begins to
brown. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF and bake an additional 10 minutes.
Remove chicken from the oven and add papaya and reserved marinade. Return
to the oven and bake, basting with the marinade until the chicken is falling off
the bone, about 30 minutes.

Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed.
Spoon the sauce and papaya over the chicken, then serve.
