- 3 whole chicken drumsticks
Cut a shallow ring around the base of the joint with a sharp filet knife and scrape the meat, skin and sinew off to make a lollipop.
- ½ cup jerk spice mixture
Marinate in half a cup of the jerk spice mixture in a plastic bag, beating it about to distribute, then fridge four to 24 hours.
- flour
- egg
Rinse off the marinade, pat dry and bread flour, egg, then flour again, keeping the bone exposed.
- lard
- 2 cup peanut oil
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
Fry in lard and peanut oil at 350F, not above 375F or the lard smokes, for five to eight minutes until golden and 175F at the thickest point.
- 2 whole scotch bonnets
Ladle some of the hot frying fat into a bowl with the brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika and chopped scotch bonnets, then brush generously over the chicken straight out of the fryer.
