We loved this "jerked" chicken recipe. I thought it would be "hot" in terms of spice, but it wasn't -- just wonderfully flavorful. I marinated these drumsticks for 24 hours as the recipe indicated and DH brushed them throughout the grilling process. The end result was a moist and succulent chicken. Will definitely make this recipe again. Made for Spring PAC, April, 2013.
