Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 cup minced onion
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons (packed) brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup bourbon
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
12 chicken drumsticks

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until soft, about 6 minutes. Add next 5 ingredients, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and chili powder. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir in bourbon; cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in bowl. Loosen skin on drumsticks. Rub salt and pepper mixture under skin without tearing skin. Cover; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill drumsticks until skin is crisp and juices run clear, turning to cook all sides, about 25 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup barbecue sauce to small bowl; reserve. Brush drumsticks with remaining sauce and cook until glaze forms, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer drumsticks to platter and serve with reserved sauce.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a batch of chicken drumsticks and then used the leftovers to make this recipe. It turned out great! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

I cooked the chicken in the air fryer and it turned out great. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

I used bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of drumsticks and they turned out great. The glaze was flavorful and the chicken was moist and juicy. I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out great. The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed by reducing the amount of molasses. Overall, this is a great recipe that I'll definitely be making again.
