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.

Tips:

  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken drumsticks in the cornstarch mixture.
  • If you don't have a large enough skillet, you can cook the chicken drumsticks in batches.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the chicken drumsticks with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This sweet and sticky chicken drumsticks recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy chicken. The chicken is coated in a flavorful cornstarch mixture and then fried until crispy. The sticky sauce is made with honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
