Best Sticky Grilled Drumsticks With Spicysweet Plum Sauce Recipes

SWEET AND STICKY GRILLED DRUMSTICKS

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.

BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS WITH PLUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a fire in a grill.
• Rub drumsticks with salt, pepper and garlic, if using.
• Wrap a strip of bacon firmly around each drumstick, securing ends with toothpicks.
• Brush with vegetable oil and grill, turning frequently and brushing with additional oil, for about 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
• To test for doneness, pierce meat in the thickest part with a thin skewer.
• The juices that run out should be clear.
• Heat jam for sauce with apple cider vinegar and chili sauce in a small pan or microwave oven and beat together.
• Arrange hot drumsticks on a platter around a dish of the sauce for dipping.
