Grilled Jamaican Jerked Drumsticks Food

GRILLED JAMAICAN JERK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients (except the chicken) in a blender or food processor and blend on high until a thick marinade forms.
• Place chicken pieces into a large bowl or plastic bag, cover with marinade and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1-2 hours, preferably overnight. (The longer you leave the chicken to marinade, the more it will take on the flavours.)
• When you are ready to cook, take the chicken out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking. (Bringing it to room temperature helps for an even cooking process.)
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, and lightly brush with oil to help chicken from sticking to the grill.
• Place the chicken, skin-side down, on the grill over a medium heat and cook for 25 to 35 minutes, turning often, until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
• Transfer chicken to a plate and allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
• Dress chicken with scallions and extra lime wedges to serve.
• Enjoy!
