Caribbean Jerk Chicken Drumsticks with Grilled Pineapple
Why haven't you tried this?
It has a smoky aroma that regular grilled chicken lacks—Jerk sauce is the soul! Use the Geedel food chopper to mince spices for the sauce in 5 minutes. The chicken drumsticks are crispy-skinned and tender-meated, paired with grilled pineapple to cut through richness. It's like a tropical escape to the Caribbean coast!
Ingredients
Main: 4 chicken drumsticks, 1/4 pineapple, 1/2 red onion
Jerk Sauce: 1 Scotch bonnet pepper (or 2 bird's eye chilies), 3 garlic cloves, 1 small sprig of thyme, 1 small bunch of parsley, 1/4 tsp nutmeg powder, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp olive oil
Seasonings: 1/4 tsp salt, a pinch of black pepper, 1 lime (juice extracted)
Detailed Instructions
1.Effortless Jerk sauce with Geedel
Remove seeds from the pepper. Place the pepper, garlic, thyme, and parsley into the Geedel vegetable chopper (fine chop setting), press gently for fine, uniform mince. The evenly chopped spices release more aroma than hand-chopped ones. Add nutmeg powder, soy sauce, brown sugar, and 1 tbsp olive oil—stir well to make the Jerk sauce.
2.Marinate chicken + prep grilled items
Make 2 slashes on each chicken drumstick. Coat thoroughly with Jerk sauce and marinate for 30 minutes (10 minutes if short on time). Cut pineapple into thick slices and red onion into chunks. Use the Geedel's coarse chop setting to trim edges for neat pieces. Toss pineapple and onion with salt, black pepper, and lime juice.
3.Grill together
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange chicken drumsticks, pineapple slices, and onion chunks on the tray. Brush with remaining olive oil. Bake at 200℃ for 30 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and the meat is fully cooked.
Blogger's Tip
Place chicken drumsticks skin-side down first, bake for 15 minutes, then flip—this makes the skin extra crispy.
Summary
This Caribbean-style grilled chicken breaks away from ordinary roast chicken, featuring 'smoky spicy aroma + tropical sweet-sour' for a memorable taste. The Geedel vegetable chopper with container minces various spices into uniform bits, releasing rich complex flavors. With 5 minutes of sauce prep + 30 minutes of baking, even beginners can easily get tropical flair!
