- 10 green onions (scallions), white and green parts, chopped
- 1/2 habanero or Scotch Bonnect chile (or 3 serrano chilies), seeded and chopped
- 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for additional seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 10 chicken drumsticks (3 1/2 lbs)
- Olive oil, grapeseed oil, or other high smoke point cooking oil
PREPARING
- STEP1
In a food processor, puree the green onions, chilies, vinegarm garlic, Thyme, allspice, salt and pepper into a thick paste. - STEP2
Put the drumsticks in a large bowl and coat with the chili paste. Let stand for 10 minutes. - STEP3
Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and set the broiler to high. Coat the buttom of a broiler pan (under the perforated top part of the pan) with oil. (Note that a broiler pan really works best here. A regular baking pan may warp under the high heat of the broiler). Arrange the drumsticks on the pan and sprinkle generously with salt. - STEP4
Broil chicken, turning once after about 10 minutes. Continue broiling until cooked through (juices run clear when poked with a knife tip) and nicely browned, about 20 minutes total. Note that some pieces may cook faster than others, in which case remove the pieces that are done and continue to cook the rest until cooked through. chicken drumstick recipes
