The drumsticks were marinated over an hour in a jamaican jerk sauce. We have made our own version before for pork but this sauce was more a spicy bbq version.
Lastly, the sweet potato fries cooked up well using the "convection" feature on our Krups toaster oven. 425° for 15 minutes. First, peel potato and cut into fry sticks. Toss well in a covered bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, crumbled rosemary. Turn 1/2 way through cooking. Did I mention use Nonstick Reynolds foil? That stuff is the bomb. This photo is of the leftovers (mmm cold chicken drumstick) the next day. Great summer meal. Fries eaten the day before (a tester favorite, with 'chup of course).
