Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Prepare the marinade by blending scallions, garlic, ginger, thyme, allspice, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, black pepper, salt, nutmeg, pimento seeds, vinegar, and orange juice until smooth.

Place chicken drumsticks in a large mixing bowl.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.

Seal the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop potatoes into chunks.

After marinating, add the potatoes to the bowl with the chicken and mix to coat them in the marinade.

Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a baking dish.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F before serving.
