Grilled Glazed Drummies Recipes

GRILLIED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS- THE ART OF DRUMMIES

Steps:

• Preheat grill to get a surface temp of about 450°. That is medium-high on a standard gas grill and medium on a hot gas grill. Clean and oil.
• Pat dry the drumsticks. Trim off excess skin and any loose bones/tissue especially in the joint area.
• Season to taste. You can use my 7:2:2 spice mix. A little cayenne is nice. You may want to skip the cayenne if cooking for little ones. Or use the seasoning of your choice.
• Let rest at room temperature until grill is ready.
• Check grill temp if possible and place chicken on the grill. Flip about every 5 minutes until internal temp of 180°-185° degrees. About 30-35 minutes.
• Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. They are way too hot anyway.

GRILLED FIRECRACKER CHICKEN DRUMMIES

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place chicken in grill basket (grill "wok"). Place basket on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes, shaking basket to turn chicken after 10 minutes, until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (180°F).
• Serve chicken with sour cream sprinkled with paprika.

BROWN-SUGAR BBQ CHICKEN DRUMETTES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, sugar, Worcestershire, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 1 cup sauce for tossing raw chicken; use rest for baked chicken.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds; line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• Divide drumettes between baking sheets, and toss with reserved 1 cup sauce.
• Bake chicken until opaque throughout, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating sheets and tossing chicken halfway through. Toss baked drumettes with 1/2 cup sauce, and serve with remaining sauce on the side.
