Jerk Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients

• 8 chicken drumsticks
• 3 green onions
• 1 scotch bonnet or habanero pepper (seeds removed for less heat)
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp allspice
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp tamari

Method

1. 1

   Blend green onions, pepper, thyme, ginger, garlic, olive oil, allspice, vinegar, and tamari into a smooth marinade.

2. 2

   Score the drumsticks a few times with a knife and toss with the marinade, coating thoroughly.

3. 3

   Marinate at least 4 hours, ideally overnight — this extended time is what gets the seasoning's heat and warmth all the way down to the bone, not just sitting on the surface of the skin.

4. 4

   Preheat oven to 400°F (or grill over medium heat).

5. 5

   Roast or grill 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is charred in spots.
