BARBECUE CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks image

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.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN DRUMETTES

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 sprigs of rosemary
5 garlic cloves, halved
10 to 12 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Combine the balsamic, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves, in a large, re-sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and the brown sugar. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag and seal with as little air as possible in the bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil (in order to kill bacteria). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes. Reserve.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the chopped parsley.
  • Cook's note: I like the rosemary and garlic flavors in the background. Brushing the cooked drumettes with the reduced marinade helps the flavors along. Also, re-moistening helps the parsley and the seeds to adhere.

SLOW COOKER BBQ CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Drumsticks image

I wanted a recipe for chicken legs in the slow cooker, so I searched many recipes and finally found two that I meshed together to get the perfect BBQ chicken legs. My family loved them, and the texture and flavor of the chicken was awesome! This 2-step process is what makes it so great-the slow cooker keeps the chicken very juicy, and then finishing it in the oven crisps up the skin without drying up the chicken.

Categories     Chicken     Appetizer     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c. ketchup
1 c. packed light-brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Worcerstershire sauce
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
coarse salt and ground pepper
6 lbs. chicken drumettes patted dry

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, sugar, Worcestershire and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 1 c. sauce for tossing raw chicken; use rest for baked chicken.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. - If you don't have BBQ sauce, you can make your own by combining ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder. - To add a smoky flavor, you can either grill the chicken drumettes over charcoal or add a few drops of liquid smoke to the BBQ sauce. - If you want the chicken drumettes to be extra crispy, bake them at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time. - Serve the chicken drumettes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
