I got this recipe from the back of a Heinz ketchup bottle. I always loved the taste of bacon and maple syrup so I thought I'd give it try. It was great, very tasty. It calls for drumsticks, but I used 3 chicken breasts and cut them into about 1 1/2 inch pieces instead. This recipe makes a lot of sauce. Next time I make it I will cut the ingredient amounts in half. Or another idea would be to make the full amount of sauce but divide it so you can use one half for a dipping sauce which I should have done. Either way it is very tasty. I also omitted the cloves.
Ingredients:
12 chicken drumsticks
12 slices bacon
clove, to taste
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups ketchup
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons thyme
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
1. Season chicken with salt & pepper to taste.
2. Roll each piece of chicken in bacon, fastened with a toothpick.
3. Insert cloves & place in roasting pan.
4. Mix together Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, ketchup, garlic, thyme and lemon juice.
5. Brush each wrapped chicken piece with sauce.
6. Bake in 400°F oven for 45-60 minutes, basting occasionally.
