Ingredients 

MARINADE
3 tablespoons Caribbean jerk seasoning
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
CHICKEN
5 to 8 (24 ounces) Gold'n Plump® Chicken Drumsticks

Instructions 

Prepare grill for medium indirect heat. Position grill rack about 6 inches above coals or heat source.

Combine all marinade ingredients in medium zip-seal plastic bag. Add drumsticks; seal and turn bag to coat drumsticks with marinade. Refrigerate 30 minutes, turning bag once.

Brush grill with oil. Grill drumsticks 30 to 40 minutes over indirect heat, turning once. Insert meat thermometer into the meatiest part of the drumstick, making sure not to touch the bone. The chicken is done when the thermometer registers 170°F. The juices should run clear with no hint of pink in the meat.

Serve with garden ranch dip.

Tips 

Jerk seasoning can be found in the spice section of most supermarkets. If desired, remove skin before marinating.
