Recipe View 10 mins Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. (10 minutes)

For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken with the spice mixture for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator before roasting.
Consider adding a splash of orange juice to the lime-rum glaze for an extra layer of citrusy sweetness.
If the chicken skin starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking.
Serve with roasted vegetables like sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onions for a complete Caribbean-inspired meal.
