Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
JERK MARINADE:
- 1 bunch green onions, some of the green part included, chopped (about ¾ cup)
- 2 medium garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 medium jalapeño, chopped (seeds and ribs removed for less heat, if desired)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons water
CHICKEN:
- 8 medium chicken drumsticks, skinned and trimmed of excess fat
Instructions
MAKE THE MARINADE:
- In a blender, combine green onions, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, oil, sugar, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, salt, and water; blend until smooth. Set aside ¼ cup for drizzling after baking.
- Place chicken in a large zip baggie. Pour remaining marinade over chicken and roll it around in the bag to coat. Zip it closed and refrigerate, turning once or twice, at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- Place the drumsticks in a 9x13 inch pan and pour marinade on top. Bake until chicken is cooked through, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Heat the reserved marinade and drizzle on top of baked chicken for serving.
