Ingredients

  • 1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and cut in half (if you want a zestier taste, add the seeds)
  • 5 green onions, ends trimmed and cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Myerss rum (optional)

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 to 6 chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 medium-size red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 medium-size green bell pepper, sliced

Method

  • Place the chile, green onions, vinegar, brown sugar, oil, soy sauce, rum (if using), lime juice, jerk seasoning, and salt in a food processor; puree until smooth.
  • Spray the inside of the crock with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the drumsticks in the slow cooker, laying them side by side.
  • Pour the seasoning paste over the chicken and turn to coat the pieces, using a small spatula.
  • Add the bell pepper strips.
