Jerk Chicken Drumsticks - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 -6 chicken drumsticks (1 package)
    2 -3 tablespoons salt
    water
    MARINADE
    8 ounces plain yogurt
    1 lime, juice of
    1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
    SEASONING
    1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon thyme
    1/8 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    oil (for oiling your grilling racks)
Preparation
    Remove chicken from package; rinse well and place in bowl with 2-3 tablespoons of salt and water to cover. Soak overnight. (You may also drain your yogurt now: put yogurt in strainer fitted with a coffee filter over a container in fridge, overnight. Discard whey (liquid) and proceed.).
    Mix yogurt, ginger and the juice from 1 lime; add chicken drums to marinade for 3 hours or so.
    Mix all seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl.
    Remove drumsticks from yogurt soak and shake off the excess well.
    Sprinkle the seasoning liberally over the drums, making sure to cover all sides.
    Oil your grill racks and set your grill to medium heat; the drums will take an average of 8-12 minutes per side. Please be sure yours are done by checking that the juices run clear. An instant read thermometer should read 165\u00b0 at the thickest part, NOT touching the bone. Be sure to allow your chicken to rest (at least 5 minutes - to allow the juices to re-distribute) after removing from the grill.
    Enjoy!
