Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup dried tart cherries
1/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses
2 large dried ancho chilies (about 1 ounce), stemmed, seeded
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of ground cloves
3 pounds chicken wing drummettes

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except chicken in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer until chilies and cherries are tender, about 20 minutes. Working in batches, purée mixture in blender. Return sauce to pan. If necessary, simmer uncovered until sauce is reduced to 3 cups and thickens. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill until just cooked through, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Brush sauce over; continue grilling until glazed, turning chicken and basting often with more sauce, about 5 minutes longer. Serve with remaining sauce.

These were a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

These were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best chicken drummettes he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but these drummettes were surprisingly good. The sauce was amazing!

These were delicious! I used a store-bought barbecue sauce and it still turned out great.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry. I think I might have overcooked it. Next time I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

I've tried many grilled chicken recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The combination of the ancho chiles and cherries in the sauce is unique and delicious. I'll be making this again for sure!

These chicken drummettes were a hit at my last BBQ! The ancho-cherry barbecue sauce was perfectly balanced, with a slight sweetness and a hint of smokiness. The chicken was juicy and tender, and the sauce caramelized beautifully on the grill.
