1/2 cup dark rum
6 cloves garlic -- chopped

2 large mangos -- peeled, pitted and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 medium ripe bananas -- peeled and cut on the bias into thick slices
1 medium pineapple -- peeled and sliced
1 medium lime -- juice of
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter -- melted
 

Preparation:

Place the chicken pieces in a baking dish. In a blender, combine the citrus juices, rum, garlic, sugar, chipotles, red peppers, onion, vinegar and olive oil. Pulse gently. Pour marinade over the chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Turn the chicken once. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the grill. Place the mango pieces, banana slices and pineapple on a sheet of foil and brush with lime juice. Set aside. When the grill is ready, brush with vegetable oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken pieces, cavity sides down, on the grill and cook for 10 minutes. Turn and baste with the marinade and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Baste and turn chicken every 5 minutes for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Lightly brush the fruits with melted butter. Set the foil on the grill during the last 10 minutes of cooking time. Perforate the foil to allow the heat to reach the fruit, then fold the foil into a packet and cook until the fruit is slightly limp and lightly charred. Place the chicken on a platter and arrange the fruit along the edges.
