Caribbean Chicken Legs is a delicious fusion dish that combines the flavors of the Caribbean with the succulent taste of chicken. The marinade for the chicken consists of dark rum, chili powder, molasses, and red pepper sauce, which adds a sweet and spicy taste to the dish. The pineapple, on the other hand, provides a juicy texture and sweetness that balances out the chicken with its tangy flavor. This dish is perfect for those who love to experiment with flavors and want to enjoy a mouth-watering, fulfilling meal that caters to all taste buds.
