INGREDIENTS

- ⅔ cup Red Stripe Beer
- 8 Yorkshire Valley Farms drumsticks

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup dry Jerk Seasoning

METHOD
- Combine the Red Stripe Beer and buttermilk in a large glass bowl.
- Add chicken to the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, cornstarch, Jerk Seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Drain the chicken and discard the marinade. Toss lightly one at a time to coat them. You can use a resealable bag for the breading mixture.
- Place the breaded chicken on a large baking sheet lined with wax paper making certain they do not touch each other. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Add oil to a 2-3 inch deep skillet. Heat to approximately 350°F using a frying thermometer.
- Add the chicken 2 at a time, frying for about 4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel.
