Ingredients

• 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 4 pieces Scallions, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, allspice, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon to create the jerk marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken drumsticks in the bowl and thoroughly coat each piece with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a wire rack inside the baking sheet for even crisping.

Step 4

Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade. Arrange the chicken drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Keto Jerk Chicken Drumsticks with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
