STICKY GRILLED DRUMSTICKS WITH SPICY/SWEET PLUM SAUCE
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! ;)

Steps:
- With your potato peeler peel a portion of skin off of the ginger. Continue to peel strips of the cream flesh of the ginger until you have approximately 1/8 cup. If desired, you can take a knife and cut the ginger into smaller pieces at this point. My family happens to like ginger, so I leave it in long strips. Place remaining ginger in a freezer bag and place in freezer for later use.
- Add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fresh ginger, sesame seeds, spring onions, and red pepper flakes to a gallon sized ziplock bag and give it a shake to combine.
- Place chicken drumsticks into bag and seal. Place bag in the refrigerator and allow chicken to marinade for a minimum of 4 hours.
- Once chicken has marinated, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Carefully remove chicken from bag and set marinade aside. Do Not discard.
- Place chicken on a greased baking sheet. Cook legs 15 minutes at 400 degrees then flip and cook an additional 15 minutes.
- While chicken is in the oven, cook rice if desired; according to package directions.
- During the last 15 minutes of cooking the chicken, pour oil into a wok or large skillet and heat over high heat. When oil is good and hot, add the sliced mushrooms, snow pea pods, and water chestnuts and quickly stir-fry until snow peas are crisp tender. Remove vegetables to a plate and set aside.
- Turn the heat down on on your wok or pan and add the marinade sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook approximately 5 minutes. Add vegetables, and chicken drumsticks to the sauce and give a quick stir to coat all ingredients.
- Spoon vegetables and sauce over rice and top each serving with two drumsticks.
SMOKED SPICY TERIYAKI DRUMSTICKS
This is a recipe that was adapted from Kraft Foods. It was a big hit at my recent cookout. I made my own barbecue sauce and used 1960's Catalina Dressing for the quick marinade. This is delicious served with smoked corn on the cob and coleslaw.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are thin or have a lot of bone.
- Marinate the drumsticks: Marinating the drumsticks in a mixture of spices and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Cook the drumsticks over medium heat: Cooking the drumsticks over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. You can cook the drumsticks in a pan on the stovetop, in the oven, or on the grill. Just be sure to cook them until they are cooked through.
- Serve the drumsticks with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce will help to add extra flavor to the drumsticks. You can use a simple dipping sauce made with ketchup and mayonnaise, or you can try a more complex sauce made with yogurt, herbs, and spices.
Conclusion:
Spicy drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give spicy drumsticks a try. You won't be disappointed!
