    Unusual and very tasty. The chicken stayed really moist, probably thanks to the marinade and also the hibiscus sauce glaze. The sweet glaze was really nice, and that with the marinade gave a great balance of sweet/salty/spicy. My only criticisms are a) coconut oil isn't great for a marinade because it hardens up (though as long as it sticks to the chicken it's quite practical for grilling) and b) the white pepper was a smidge overwhelming, but I am very sensitive to that spice so maybe it's just me.
