Jamaican Jerk Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken drumsticks, skin on
• 4 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 2 tbsp allspice
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp kosher salt
• 1 ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¾ tsp ground cloves
• 3 tbsp dried thyme
• 1 scotch bonnet pepper, seeded
• juice of 1 lime
• 2 tbsp canola oil
• 1 large yellow onion, quartered

Instructions

1. 1
   Place all ingredients except for the chicken in the food processor and process until well combined.
2. 2
   Place chicken drumsticks in a large plastic bag and pour jerk marinade over. Seal bag tightly and toss well. Place in the fridge for four to six hours (or overnight).
3. 3
   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray an eight-inch square cooking dish with nonstick spray then line with chicken. Spoon more marinade over top and rub in as best you can.
4. 4
   Bake chicken for 45 minutes, or until juice runs clear. Serve with black beans and rice or, as I like to, with mashed sweet potatoes.
