Ingredients

  • 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
  • 2 whole Scotch bonnet peppers, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Ground allspice
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 0.25 cup Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 3 stalks Green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl or food processor, combine the peppers, thyme, allspice, sugar, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, and oil to create a paste.

  2. 2

    Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a large resealable bag.

  3. 3

    Pour the jerk marinade over the chicken, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight is preferred for the deepest flavor penetration.

  5. 5

    Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).

  6. 6

    Place drumsticks on the grill grate or a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Cook for 30-35 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is charred.

  8. 8

    Garnish with fresh green onions and serve with rice and peas.
