Crock Pot Caribbean Chicken in Rum

"Delicious recipe originally from the Sunset Crockery Cookbook. I made a few changes when I tried the dish. I used about 3 pounds of skinless chicken thighs instead of an entire chicken. Not having nutmeg, and liking extra heat, I sprinkled the chicken with ground red pepper instead. Also I didn't have pimentos or almonds."

  1. I have made this for over 19 years and we love the rum and island flavor this has to offer. For additional sides that pair excellent with this dish,try this. Slice bananas length ways and then in half. Add to med heated Teflon pan. Squirt lime juice on bananas as they heat and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Let them Carmelize and serve with this dish. Enjoy with a Chardonnay.
     
  2. This is good. I think it doesn't need the pimentos and I honestly would have given it 3.5 if possible
