Main Course Recipe Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks

This is an excellent recipe for making some of the most mouth watering barbecue chicken drumsticks you will ever eat. (Note: I recommend you use premium quality for this recipe)

Ingredients:

Start with about 10 to 12 drumsticks, salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons butter

Use 1/3 cup of each kind of barbecue sauces below mixing until you have about 2/3 cup. You may mix more or less depending upon your personal preference and how much chicken you prepare.

Use barbecue sauces of your choosing: However, I use Jack Daniel's barbecue and mix it with Padang Chinese barbecue sauce, which is quite good. You can usually find this sauce in the international food section of any major grocery store. In fact if you look around this section there is usually a wide selection of very good barbecue sauces so do not feel limited to what I use; just explore the different flavored sauces as they are all quite good.

(When you become experienced with flavors you might want to add some liquid smoke or Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce which zip up the flavor.)

Afterwards I sprinkle McCormick spices (mesquite barbecue) on the final product, for an extra zing.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to about 360 degrees Fahrenheit.

Meanwhile:

Place the chicken in a baking dish about 13 inches long. I think glass is the best choice of baking dish to use for this dish. I use Correlle baking dishes and my recipes always come out perfect and the dishes are easy to clean.

Melt the butter in a microwave oven and spoon-drizzle the butter over each drumstick.

Next sprinkle the drumsticks with salt and pepper and then bake for about 1and1/2 hours

Next turn off oven and turn on the broiler part of your oven.

While it is heating up baste each drumstick with a basting brush with the barbecue mixture described above and place the chicken under the broiler. Broil for about a minute, remove from oven and turn each drumstick and baste the other side and again place in the oven under the broiler and broil for about a minute.

Remove from the oven and turn each drumstick and repeat the basting and broiling process until you are out of barbecue sauce, and your chicken has that barbecued look.

Do not feel you are limited to drumsticks as any kind of cut up chicken pieces will do, but this recipe I believe works best on drumsticks.

This recipe sounds so simple and it is so simple, and the drumsticks are exceptional. I urge you to give it a try. It is one of my favorite chicken recipes and I think it will be one of your favorite recipes also.
