These Sticky Jerk Chicken Drumsticks are fiery, glossy and wonderfully easy. A simple honey-and-lime glaze caramelises around the chicken in the oven, creating crisp edges and juicy meat beneath. It gets its bold flavour from our Jerk Seasoning.

🧾 Ingredients

• 10 chicken drumsticks
• 2 tbsp Jerk Seasoning
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp runny honey
• 1 lime, zest and juice
• 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
• ½ tsp sea salt
• Fresh coriander and lime wedges, to serve

How to Make Sticky Jerk Chicken Drumsticks

1. Heat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan/Gas 6 and line a roasting tray.
2. Mix the Jerk Seasoning, oil, honey, lime zest, half the lime juice, garlic and salt.
3. Coat the drumsticks thoroughly and arrange them in a single layer on the tray.
4. Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning once and brushing with the tray juices, until cooked through and sticky.
5. Finish with the remaining lime juice, coriander and lime wedges.
