My wife and I love making different variations of chicken drumsticks, They are delicious, affordable, and pretty easy to make. I love Caribbean flavors because of their pop. The lime, orange, and ginger combination provides for a fresh, comfort taste. Enjoy these as much as we do!

Caribbean Chicken Drumsticks

Caribbean flavors are so powerful and refreshing. Fresh lime, fresh lemon, garlic, onion, cayenne and others make chicken absolutely juicy and popping with Caribbean jerk flavors. Not to mention, drumsticks are an extremely cheap dinner and cut of meat. While this recipe does include quite a few ingredients, they are rather simple to make. This is a very quick and easy recipe for oven baked chicken. #chicken #chickenrecipes #dinner #protein #cheaprecipes
