Reviews

  1. Thanks for a great, super easy slow-cooker recipe. My kids are crazy for drumsticks and they enjoyed this. I may take the suggestions of other reviewers and add a little more jerk seasoning and some lime juice, also more rum, as I couldn't detect the flavor. Thanks for some good cheap eats.
     
  2. My husband and I really enjoyed this. It was nice and simple to prepare. I added extra seasoning cause we like stuff a bit on the spicier side. Also added a few veggies (mushrooms, peppers and onions) about an hour before it was finished and used the sauce over rice. This would work well with thighs too.
     
  3. I made this in my oven using thighs and browned them firstly in oil, I also increased the jerk seasoning for more heat, baked for about 1 hour at 325 degreesF, this has great flavor and I will make again, thanks for sharing Lainey!
     
  4. Very good! I made this with a side of yellow rice w/ pigeon peas.
     
  5. I made Finger Lickin Good BBQ Sauce (http://www.food.com/recipe/finger-lickin-good-bbq-sauce-19023) to use for this chicken dish. The meat was falling off of the bone when it was done?so tender and flavorful. We had a good amount of leftovers for jerk chicken sandwiches the rest of the week. Definitely making it again! I featured this recipe in my blog - http://danasfoodblog.com/?p=832.

Tweaks

  1. This is a wonderful base recipe. I made this this afternoon when I wanted something to thaw me out from all of the winter storms. I admit that I tweaked this a lot. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of drumsticks. I also combined three different types of barbecue sauce, added some horseradish and hot chili sauce, and used a Guavaberry Rum that I bought in Sint Maarten. I also added a pinch of cinnamon and grated on some fresh nutmeg. This was delicious and very easy. I served this with green rice and a red cabbage and apple slaw. Thank you for warming me up on a cold winter night. I will definitely make this again!
