White Rum & Lime BBQ Chicken

Tropical Flavor, Perfect for Fall Gatherings

Bright, bold, and kissed by the grill—with just the right tropical twist

There’s a certain magic that happens when lime hits flame. The juice caramelizes, the zest perfumes the air, and everything starts to taste like summer. Now add a splash of Kōloa White Rum, and that magic becomes more than flavor—it becomes a feeling. Light, citrusy, and quietly complex.

In this article, I’m sharing a BBQ recipe that hits all the right notes: smoky, juicy, zesty, and ever-so-slightly sweet. White Rum & Lime BBQ Chicken is perfect for your next cookout, tailgate, or weeknight dinner on the lanai. The marinade is easy to whisk together, and the rum does more than add flavor—it helps tenderize and bring all the elements into balance.

It’s an elevated take on grilled chicken that still feels simple. No fancy sauces. No fussy techniques. Just beautiful ingredients, kissed by fire.
