Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Blend the chopped mint, lime juice, olive oil, rum, agave syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper in a food processor until well combined.

In the meantime, prepare your red onions by cutting them into 1-inch pieces.

Thread the marinated chicken and onion pieces alternately onto skewers.

Grill the skewers for 8 minutes.

Flip the skewers, brushing them with the leftover marinade, and allow them to grill for another 8-10 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
9
Sprinkle the skewers with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and drizzle them with the reserved marinade.

Serve your skewers hot off the grill, with lime wedges and a garnish of fresh mint leaves.
