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.
