Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Then, combine the ingredients for jerk seasoning in a mixing bowl with olive oil.
Dry the chicken thoroughly with a cloth to remove excess moisture, and coat the chicken with the jerk seasoning mixture.
Lower the heat to 400°F (204°C), then set a wire rack into a rimmed baking sheet. Line the chicken onto the wire rack. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (73°C). Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Expert Tips:
Achieve crispy, golden-brown skin on your drumsticks by drying them thoroughly with a cloth to remove excess moisture before seasoning and roasting them.
Start by preheating the oven to 450°F (232°C), the same way you preheat a grill. Then, lower the temperature and roast the chicken at 400°F (204°C) for even cooking.
Don’t skip resting the chicken! After cooking, let the chicken set for 10 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicy jerk chicken.
