Ingredients
- 1 lb. Rocky Chicken Drumsticks
- 1/4 c. Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 c. Fresh Lime Juice
- 1/4 c. Light Soy Sauce
- 2 Habanero or Scotch Bonnet Peppers, seeds removed (if desired) & finely chopped
- 1 Yellow Onion, sliced
- 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp. Fresh Ginger, finely minced
- 1 tbsp. Brown Sugar
- 1/4 tsp. Ground Allspice
- 1/4 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
- 1 tsp. Ground Thyme
- 1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
- Steamed Rice (for serving)
Instructions
To make the marinade, combine all ingredients except chicken in a large, non-reactive bowl, stirring well to mix in spices. Submerge all drumsticks completely in the marinade, then cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refridgerate and allow chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking tray with a fitted rack. Remove drumsticks from marinade, shaking them to remove excess, then lay in a single layer on prepared rack. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until drumsticks register 165 degrees at the thickest point; turn drumsticks halfway through cooking. Serve over or with steamed rice.
