  1. Combine the onion and peppercorns in a blender, then add the sugar, spices, soy sauce, garlic, citrus zest and juices, chilli and blitz. Add the oil and blend to combine.
  2. Cut 2 deep slits to the bone in each chicken drumstick and place the chicken in a large press-seal bag or non-reactive bowl. Pour over the jerk marinade and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Heat your oven to 200C fan-forced (220C conventional). Place the drumsticks on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 45 minutes until cooked and browned. Transfer onto a serving platter, drizzle with olive oil and serve with lime wedges.
