Caribbean Pineapple Rum Chicken Drumsticks with Guava Fizz

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the pineapple juice, dark rum, brown sugar, allspice, and olive oil. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the marinade is well mixed.

2. 2

   Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator 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 lightly grease it.

4. 4

   Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade.

5. 5

   Bake the drumsticks for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the skin is golden and the chicken is cooked through.

6. 6

   While the chicken bakes, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.

7. 7

   Once the drumsticks are done, brush them with the reduced marinade for extra flavor and a glossy finish.

8. 8

   For the Guava Fizz, fill a glass halfway with ice. Pour in 1/2 cup guava juice and top with 1/2 cup sparkling water. Stir gently to combine. Repeat for a second serving.

9. 9

   Serve the Caribbean Pineapple Rum Chicken Drumsticks hot, accompanied by the refreshing Guava Fizz.
