STICKY GRILLED DRUMSTICKS WITH SPICY/SWEET PLUM SAUCE



Sticky Grilled Drumsticks With Spicy/Sweet Plum Sauce image

Food & Wine Magazine, August 2008 edition. From Pairing of the Day: August 2008, Great Chicken Recipes: Wings, Breasts, Drumsticks and Thighs. Grace Parisi prepares a wonderfully sticky and nicely sweet glaze of fresh plums and red pepper jelly to brush over drumsticks while grilling. Hot red pepper jelly makes for a spicier glaze, sweet pepper jelly creates a milder one. We opted for the milder one because we made it for the home but we made a batch of the spicier glaze for us and it was wonderful! This is a fantastic and tasty recipe for the grill and the summer.Suggested wine: Juicy Primitivo: 2006 . Serve with the drumsticks, corn on the cob with any of the outrageous butter recipes on zaar, a yummy mixed-greens salad with garbanzo beans, bacon, sesame seeds and a champagne vinaigrette, and then for dessert something chocolate and DECADENT! ;)

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 chicken drumsticks (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons canola oil
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 red purple plums (4 ounces each) or 2 purple plums, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 ounces each)
1/4 cup hot red pepper jelly or 1/4 cup sweet red pepper jelly
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Light a grill.
  • Rub the chicken with the canola oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter.
  • Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the plums and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened and nearly broken down, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the red pepper jelly and mustard and bring to a boil, stirring until the jelly is melted.
  • Carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor.
  • Add the water and puree until smooth.
  • Season the plum sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Liberally brush the plum sauce all over the chicken and grill, turning the drumsticks occasionally, until they are lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade not only adds flavor to the drumsticks, but it also helps to tenderize them. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as vinegar or lemon juice, as these help to break down the tough connective tissue in the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling the drumsticks, be sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the grill will cause the drumsticks to steam rather than grill, resulting in soggy chicken.
  • Cook the drumsticks over medium heat: Cooking the drumsticks over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. If you cook them over too high heat, they will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to ensure that the drumsticks are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the drumstick. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the drumsticks rest before serving: Once the drumsticks are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful drumsticks.

Conclusion:

Grilled spicy drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can make sure that your drumsticks are cooked perfectly every time. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
