Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 400 deg F (200 deg C).

2

Remove the skin from the chicken drumstick to keep the fat content lean, then rub the meat with a touch of salt and your favorite Caribbean-style jerk spice blend.

3

Place the drumstick on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the juices run clear and the meat is tender.

4

While the chicken roasts, combine the fresh cilantro salsa with extra fresh chopped cilantro in a small saucepan over low heat to gently warm and bloom the aromatics.

5

Once the chicken is cooked, remove the meat from the bone, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and toss thoroughly in the warm salsa reduction.

6

Serve in a small bowl, garnished with an extra sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for brightness.
