Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Place chicken parts in the baking pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Melt butter in a medium sized pot over medium high heat. Add brown sugar and onion. Cook 4 minutes.
Add rum, peppers, pineapple, orange juice and soy sauce. Lower heat to medium and allow to simmer 5 minutes.
Scoop out 3 T. of the liquid and place in a small bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch until completely incorporated. Pour this mixture back into the pot and cook for another 3 minutes.
Pour contents in pot over chicken. Bake 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160 degrees.
Serve over rice or with plantains. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
