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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
8 chicken drumsticks, skin on
Coarse salt
Green-Cabbage Coleslaw with Vinaigrette

Steps:

  • Bring wine, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until mixture has thickened to the consistency of honey, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
  • Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes through the skin and flesh on both sides of each drumstick (this will help the flavors permeate the meat).
  • Preheat grill to medium-low. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 7 seconds.) Place drumsticks on grill, and brush with sauce. Close cover, and grill 4 minutes. Flip chicken, and brush with sauce. Continue to cook, flipping and brushing with sauce every 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through, about 20 minutes total. Season with salt. Serve with coleslaw.

SWEET AND STICKY CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Sweet and Sticky Chicken Drumsticks image

Categories     Sauce     Chicken     Bake     Marinate     Pastry     Simmer     Boil

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves in a large, resealable 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, squeezing out as much air from the bag as possible. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the chicken drumsticks from the bag, reserving the marinade, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chicken drumsticks: Fresh chicken drumsticks will yield the best results, as they will be more tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the chicken overnight: Marinating the chicken overnight in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, and spices will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a high-quality honey: The quality of the honey you use will make a big difference in the taste of the chicken. Choose a honey that is thick and flavorful, such as clover honey or manuka honey.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: The chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Sweet and Sticky Chicken Drumsticks is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, honey, and spices, then baked until it is cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy chicken with a crispy, caramelized skin. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
