Step 1
Rinse the chicken thoroughly, dry it, and cut into 8-10 pieces. Grate the zest from the lemons and squeeze the juice from the pulp. Mix the juice with rum, season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate for 2 hours.

Peel the onion and chop into cubes. Peel the ginger root and grate finely on a coarse grater. Wash the grapes and separate the berries from the stems. Cut each grape in half and remove the seeds. Wash the tarragon, dry with paper towels, and roughly tear. Set aside a couple of sprigs for garnish.

Step 3
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Reserve the marinade. Heat butter in a skillet and fry the chicken pieces for 4 minutes on each side, transferring them to a pot as they're done. Into the same skillet used for frying the chicken, add onion, ginger, lemon zest, and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, for 7 minutes. Add grapes, pour in the reserved marinade, and cook for another 3 minutes.
