1tablespoonfresh lime juice
1tablespoonteriyaki sauce

Instructions
Place an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and turn on the broiler. Line a large baking sheet with foil, and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the pineapple preserves, lime juice, teriyaki sauce and cayenne pepper. Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and place it in another small bowl and set aside.
Sprinkle the drumsticks with salt and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Baste the chicken with the mixture from the first bowl. Place the pan in the oven and cook until the drumsticks are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes, turning the chicken and brushing with the mixture every 5 minutes.
Clean the basting brush (or use a new, clean brush). Baste the chicken with the reserved 2 tablespoons of the pineapple mixture just before serving.
