In a bowl combine your marinade/rub ingredients: red onion, dried thyme, ground allspice, ground cinnamon, white pepper, chopped green onion tops, salt, ground nutmeg, small jalapenos, cooking oil, and flavorful rum. Refrigerate.

Chicken Prep

Rub the chicken with lime and salt. Rub jerk seasoning over chicken halves. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight for the best results. Preheat a barbecue grill to medium high. The pimento leaves are optional, but if you choose to use them spread the leaves on the grill. Barbecue should be on medium-low heat. Grill the chicken for about 45 minutes, turning often to optimize cooking and browning. Alternatively, you may use your home oven, heated to 375 degrees F. If you are using an oven it is best not to use pimento leaves. Let chicken sit for 10 minutes before cutting into quarters.
