| Low Fat Chargrilled Caribbean Chicken Recipe Instructions & Tips:For the marinade, Place the allspice berries in a small, dry, non-stick frying pan and place on a medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until the berries give off an aroma.
Remove from the heat and place in a large mortar. Add the nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, and grind with the pestle to a powder.
Add the red onion, spring onions, chilli, lime zest and juice, salt and pepper. Pound the mixture to a thick paste.
Slash the chicken drumsticks several times with a sharp knife and rub the 'jerk' marinade all over them. Place in a shallow non-metal dish, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat the grill to high. Place the drumsticks on the grill rack and cook under the grill for 15 - 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through. To test whether the chicken is cooked, insert a thin metal skewer or knife tip into the thickest part and check that the juices run clear.
Serve the drumsticks hot, with low fat yogurt and lime wedges. Accompany with a crisp green salad.
