Caribbean Jerk Chicken Drumsticks with Tropical Cooler

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the jerk seasoning, brown sugar, lime juice, olive oil, minced scotch bonnet pepper, and the leaves from the fresh thyme sprigs.

2. 2

   Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.

4. 4

   Arrange the marinated drumsticks on the rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

5. 5

   While the chicken is baking, prepare the Tropical Cooler. In a pitcher, combine the mango juice and coconut water. Stir well and chill until ready to serve.

6. 6

   Once the drumsticks are done, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

7. 7

   Serve the jerk chicken drumsticks hot, garnished with extra thyme if desired, alongside a glass of the refreshing Tropical Cooler.
