1. In two large plastic resealable bags, add chicken drumsticks. Add half of the Lime-A-Rita, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno to each bag. Seal and place bags in the fridge, rotating at least once. Leave in the fridge for at least 24 hours up to 48 hours. Take chicken out of bag and season with pepper, salt, paprika, chili powder and garlic powder on all sides of the chicken.
2. Preheat grill to 400 F with 2 burners on high and 2 on low. Place chicken on high heat to get a nice char on all sides of the chicken and then transfer to low heat to finish cooking through. Cook for 30 minutes or until chicken reaches 160 F with a meat thermometer.
3. Let chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with lime juice and more cilantro. Enjoy!
