BARBECUE CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 1/2 pounds small chicken drumsticks (about 18)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
Vegetable oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • Make the chicken: Combine the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika and cumin in a small bowl. Season the chicken all over with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, then rub all over with the spice mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: Whisk the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, orange juice, garlic, molasses, hoisin sauce, mustard and chili powder in a small saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. (You should have 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups sauce.)
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat a grill to medium and oil the grates. Grill the chicken, covered and turning occasionally, until lightly charred and a thermometer inserted into a drumstick (without touching the bone) registers 170 degrees F, 35 to 45 minutes, brushing with some of the barbecue sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a platter and brush with more barbecue sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken drumsticks. Look for drumsticks that are about the same size so they cook evenly. You can also use chicken thighs or wings if you prefer.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully thawed before cooking. If the chicken is frozen, it will not cook evenly and may be dangerous to eat.
  • Pat the chicken dry before cooking. This will help the chicken crisp up in the oven.
  • Season the chicken generously with your favorite spices. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce. The sauce is what will give your chicken its flavor, so make sure to choose one that you like.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Baked BBQ chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. Plus, they are a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give baked BBQ chicken drumsticks a try.
