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! ;)

SWEET-AND-STICKY GRILLED DRUMSTICKS



Sweet-and-Sticky Grilled Drumsticks image

The syrupy glaze on these barbecued drumsticks results in a tangy, caramelized coating. We slow-grilled the chicken over medium-low heat to prevent flare-ups from the dripping sauce. Green-Cabbage Coleslaw makes a crisp side dish.

PLUM CHIPOTLE SAUCE



Plum Chipotle Sauce image

When plums are in season, this is a great alternative to putting up jam with all those plums. This is a great addition with pork, chicken, or as a topping on cream cheese served with crackers.

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes

Time 4h40m

Yield 128

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 quarts very ripe plums, pitted, or as needed
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 onion, finely chopped
6 cups white sugar
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Southwest chipotle seasoning
1 tablespoon roasted garlic seasoning
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (remove seeds for milder flavor if desired)
7 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
8 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Place the plums, a few at a time, into a colander set over a large bowl. With gloved hands, squeeze the plums in the colander, forcing the juice through the holes of the colander. Discard spent pulp, and repeat to produce 8 cups of plum juice.
  • Pour 3/4 cup of plum juice into a small saucepan with garlic and onion, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the juice-onion mixture into a large pot, and add the remaining 7 1/2 cups of plum juice. Stir in the sugar, apple cider vinegar, Southwest chipotle seasoning, roasted garlic seasoning, jalapeno pepper, salt, and liquid smoke flavoring until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the sauce down until thickened, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the sauce into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your grilled drumsticks.
  • Marinate the drumsticks for at least 30 minutes: This will help them absorb the flavors of the marinade and make them more tender.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the drumsticks: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the drumsticks for 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through: You can check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the drumstick. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the spicy-sweet plum sauce while the drumsticks are cooking: This will give the sauce time to develop its flavors.
  • Serve the grilled drumsticks with the spicy-sweet plum sauce: This sauce will add a delicious, tangy flavor to the drumsticks.

Conclusion:

Sticky grilled drumsticks with spicy-sweet plum sauce is a mouth-watering dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The drumsticks are tender and juicy, and the sauce is tangy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
