\u2022 2 tablespoons soy sauce<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 teaspoons brown sugar<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 teaspoon ground allspice<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 teaspoon smoked paprika<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon ground nutmeg<\/p>\n
\u2022 4 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n
\u2022 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 green onions, chopped<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 Scotch bonnet or habanero pepper, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 teaspoon fresh)<\/p>\n
Instructions<\/p>\n
1. Prepare the marinade: In a blender or food processor, combine all marinade ingredients until smooth.<\/p>\n
2. Marinate the chicken: Place the drumsticks in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring they\u2019re well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight for best flavor).<\/p>\n
3. Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top for even cooking.<\/p>\n
4. Bake: Arrange the marinated drumsticks on the rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 175\u00b0F\/80\u00b0C).<\/p>\n
5. Broil for extra crispiness: For a slightly charred finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n
6. Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra lime wedges and chopped green onions.<\/p>\n
