Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken With Speecy Spicy Sauce image

I had jerk chicken for the first time from a restaurant called "Flames" here in Boston, and, as is seemingly my mission nowadays, I wanted to find a way to make it at home. This is a recipe I've tweaked to my own personal tastes, but be warned, it is very VERY speecy spicy! So you may want to have some rice or fruit nearby to quench the FLAMES! I used my little Foreman grill, and the chicken turned out perfectly!

1/4 cup dried thyme
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1/2 cup malt vinegar

3 tablespoons dark rum
2 tablespoons water
12 skin-on boneless chicken breasts
1 cup ketchup
