Grilled Jerk Chicken Drumsticks

Fire up that grill and get out those jorts because it is time to celebrate AMERICA, people. We recently had to invest in some fans for our patio because otherwise it felt like we were casually hanging out in an oven. Once we get those misters, we’ll be allllllllllll set.  The good news is i’m currently hanging out inside sipping on some more Strawberry Frosé (seriously addicted) while Alessandro fires up that grill.

He is earning so many brownie points right now.

Grilled Jerk Chicken Drumsticks

These Grilled Jerk Chicken Drumsticks (try saying that 5 times fast…) are an easy meal to prepare for a group of people and are perfect for summer.  Simply let the drumsticks marinate for  30-45 minutes and put em on the grill.  Absolutely delicious served with grilled vegetables, potato salad, or rice.  I also added a refreshing Balsamic Peach and Arugula side salad.

D-I-V-I-N-E.

Oh, and go ahead and tack on another Strawberry FroSe why don’t ya!
