We are chicken lovers. Seriously, we rarely eat beef. We love our chicken grilled, fried, roasted, sauteed, stir-fried, you name it. We eat a LOT of chicken. There is one thing that we don't really care for though, and that is drumsticks. Don't know why, but none of us really seem to like them. So, when my mom stopped by this week with two huge packages of chicken drums she had got for a really great price, we were less than enthusiastic about having them. So, I was off to try to find a recipe for them. The boys wanted fried, of course, but I was not in the mood for that mess. So grilled was what we settled on. This recipe is really a conglomeration of about 3 different recipes based on what I knew we would like. This chicken was the BOMB!!! Jared said it was the best chicken drums he had ever eaten. Whoo yeah. I love it when we find a new favorite. You have to try it. It would be good on breasts too or even ribs. This is not a sauce though, more like a marinade, it is kind of thin. Just keep basting the chicken in it while it grills. I promise, it is awesome!! So, here it is...
Honey Glazed Chicken
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
1/2 cup good quality honey
2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. ground black pepper
Whisk all together. Reserve 1 cup for basting. Place chicken in 1 gallon ziploc bag and pour in marinade. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, turning to coat a few times. Drain chicken and discard marinade left in bag. Grill chicken over medium heat, basting with reserved glaze.
Keep an eye on your chicken so it doesn't burn...We grilled ours while trying to watch a football game, so we were a little distracted and our chicken got a little dark..It was still great!!
