Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 skin-on chicken drumsticks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons honey
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Put the drumsticks on the rack and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Bake 30 minutes; flip the drumsticks and continue baking until golden and crisp, about 30 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Bring the apple juice, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, lemon zest, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt to a high simmer in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the sauce is syrupy and coats the back of a spoon, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside until the chicken is done.
  • Stir the sesame seeds into the sauce, if using, and warm over medium heat, if necessary. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl. Add the sauce and butter and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to a platter and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the bowl.

APPLE BUTTER-GLAZED CHICKEN



Apple Butter-Glazed Chicken image

We eat a lot of chicken and I'm always looking for new ways to fix it. My husband loves apple butter so when I found this recipe in The Chicago Tribune, I had to try it! The instructions are for cooking indoors, on a grill pan, but I cooked it outdoors on my gas grill.

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup apple butter
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 medium onion, minced
1 broiler-fryer chickens, cut up or 5 bone-in skin-on chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the apple butter, mustard, butter, sugar, celery seed and onion to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; cool.
  • Place the chicken in a food storage bag. Pour half of the apple butter mixture over the chicken; reserve remaining mixture. Seal bag; smush around so the chicken gets thoroughly coated. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat. Brush off extra sauce from the chicken and discard. Cook chicken, in batches if necessary, turning occasionally, until browned, about 20 minutes. Continue cooking, brushing with reserved marinade, until chicken is cooked through, 15-25 minutes longer.

GRILLED APPLE HONEY CHICKEN



Grilled Apple Honey Chicken image

Found in an old flyer and tried it out. My kids loved the hint of apple flavor. Great grilling recipe for those summer days when you don't want to turn on an oven. Can be prepared in the oven under a broiler...4-6 inches from broiler - broil 15-20 minutes occasionally basting with glaze. ***For the Chef who asked - it is 1/3 cup apple jelly (not applesauce) that is the first ingredient - it is not showing up in the recipe even though it is there in the "edit tool" -- I tried to zmail you but you are not accepting outside zmails from another chef. I hope you find this note! ******

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup apple jelly
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Spray grill racks with non-stick spray and then preheat grill.
  • In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the chicken; blending well.
  • When ready to BBQ, brush chicken with jelly mixture and place on gas grill over medium heat (or on charcoal grill 4-6 inches from medium coals).
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked (180F) - turning often so chicken does not burn on the outside and baste often with jelly mixture. (Throw away any leftover jelly mixture due to cross contamination).

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
  • For a crispier skin, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking.
  • To make the glaze, you can use any type of honey. However, darker honey will give the glaze a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can use white vinegar or lemon juice instead.
  • You can also add other spices to the glaze, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.

Conclusion:

Apple honey glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
