Plan ahead the sauce needs to be made 1 day ahead and chilled...I strongly suggest to double this recipe, or at least double up on the sauce, it's really good! Ingredients:
10 chicken drumsticks |
seasoning salt (or use white salt) |
black pepper |
1/4 cup butter |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste) |
2 teaspoons dryed chili flakes (optional or to taste) |
1 cup ketchup |
1/4 cup molasses |
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed |
1 1/2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
2 teaspoons chili powder (or to taste) |
1/4 cup jack daniel's bourbon |
salt |
Directions:
1. For the sauce; melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add in the onion and dryed chili flakes (if using) saute for about 5 minutes (adding in the garlic the last 2 minutes).
2. Add in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, black pepper and chili powder; mix to combine and simmer for about 20 minutes.
3. Add in the bourbon and cook until heated through for about 3 minutes.
4. Season with salt to taste.
5. Cool and chill the sauce overnight.
6. Prepare the grill to medium heat.
7. Season the drumsticks with seasoning salt and pepper.
8. Transfer about 1/2 cup BBQ sauce to a small bowl and reserve for basting.
9. Grill the drumsticks turning to cook on all sides (about 25 minutes).
10. Brush with BBQ glaze the last 3-4 minutes of cooking.
11. Transfer the drumsticks to a platter and serve with remaining sauce.
12. Delicious!
