    I added a little bit of jalapeño to the salsa to give it an extra kick. It was a hit!

    I was a bit hesitant about the rum, but it really adds a depth of flavor to the marinade. I used grilled chicken, and it was fantastic!

    This recipe is amazing! The salsa is so refreshing, and the chicken is incredibly tender. I made it for a summer barbecue, and everyone loved it!
