I didn't care for this as much as I thought I would. The marinade makes the chicken taste quite sweet, almost heavy in a way, as opposed to light and citrusy. The soy sauce doesn't really marry well with the rum flavoring. If I made changes, I would reduce the soy sauce and eliminate the brown sugar.

Love this recipe! By far the best chicken we've had in a long time. I even marinated steak the same way!

Low in fat and delicious - what more could you ask for! I used rum instead of rum extract and used Frank's Red hot for the hot pepper sauce. I also added some hot pepper flakes for a little more kick. This was a nice combination of sweet and hot. Next time I might add some pineapple juice!

WOW JULIE! Thanks for a wonderful marinade! I just finished my plate, and couldn't wait to give a review! What I did: Used Ronrico Rum, since I didn't have any extract, other than that I followed it to a "T". I did start marninating it after dinner LAST night, so it had a good 20 hours or so. I do reccomend this to any chicken lover looking for a different flare. Thanks again!!

Really tasty! Substituted 2 TBSPs rum for the extract. We liked it.

Great recipe! I omitted the rum extract, but it still tasted great. I love how simple this recipe was and no mess with lots of dishes afterwards. Definitely a keeper!

Just OK. Probably not something I'd make again.

I only had regular soy sauce (not low-sodium) and used a couple tablespoons of spiced rum instead of the rum extract as that is what I had on hand. The whole family enjoyed it. Will make again.
