APRICOT GLAZED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS OR DRUMETTES
You may use mixed chicken pieces in place of the legs for this recipe, also you can use about 3 to 3-1/2 pounds chicken wings, separated in half at the joint in place of the chicken pieces to serve at a get-togther, see note below --- I always add in a sliced green bell pepper and a sliced onion on the bottom of the pan but that is optional. Serve this with cooked rice. You will *love* this, I promise, the sauce is delicious and the amount is enough for up to 3 pounds of chicken legs or pieces :)

STICKY GRILLED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Cook garlic, ginger, spices, and 1 tsp. kosher salt in oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pomegranate juice and boil until reduced to 1 cup, 12 to 19 minutes. Remove from heat, and then add jam and molasses and stir until jam has melted. Cool (it will thicken slightly). Transfer 3/4 cup sauce to a bowl and reserve for serving.
- Prepare grill for indirect heat cooking over medium hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
- Pat chicken dry and season all over with 4 tsp. kosher salt. Oil grill rack, then grill chicken (in batches if necessary) skin side down first, directly over coals (covered only if using gas grill), turning once, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Move to area with no coals underneath (or over turned off burner for gas) and brush with some of sauce. Continue to grill, partially covered for charcoal (covered for gas), turning and brushing with sauce occasionally, until cooked through and well-glazed, 7 to 8 minutes for breasts, 15 to 20 minutes for dark meat.
APRICOT-GLAZED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Cook shallots and ginger in oil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar and boil until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, preserves, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
- Purée sauce in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), then cool to room temperature.
- Divide chicken between 2 large sealable bags and pour marinade over chicken. Seal bags, pressing out excess air, and marinate, chilled, turning bag over occasionally, at least 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
- Line a 17- by 12-inch shallow heavy baking pan with 2 slightly overlapping sheets of foil, then lightly oil foil. Arrange chicken (with marinade) in 1 layer in pan. Roast chicken, turning once, until deep brown, cooked through, and glazed, about 40 minutes total.
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 too skinny or have a lot of bone.
- Marinate the chicken drumsticks for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
- Cook the chicken drumsticks over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning on the outside while still cooking through on the inside.
- Baste the chicken drumsticks with the marinade or a mixture of melted butter and honey every few minutes. This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Cook the chicken drumsticks until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Sticky Apricot Drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the apricot glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
