This sauce has the perfect balance, thanks Sunny A. It's my favorite for drumsticks. I buy the big bulk packages of drumsticks and whip up this sauce. Marinating and basting options follow. I just baste as it cooks and it's delicious. Recipe is for 3 lbs. chicken wings. I use 12 big drumsticks and have no sauce left over.
Ingredients:
1 -2 jalapenos or 1/2 habanero, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons light brown sugar or 1 tablespoon splenda brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
Directions:
1. Combine jalapenos through scallions in a blender and puree. Add vinegar, lime, orange juice and blend until smooth.
2. To Marinate: Place chicken in bag, add marinade, refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Remove chicken and bake. Meanwhile, boil marinade and reduce. Use the sauce to glaze the chicken.
3. To Baste : Spray baking pan, salt and pepper drumsticks, baste on skin side up, cook for 10-15 min., flip, baste other side and continue until fully cooked. The crispy skin is so good.
4. I cook drumsticks at 450 for 35-40 minutes and they crisp up well for me. If I want extra crispy I'll broil for a couple minutes too.
