Sweet & Spicy Drumsticks


We love foods that are sweet and spicy to eat in this family. One of our favorite recipes to make up for dinner is our Sweet and Spicy Chicken Drumsticks. This dish can be cooked up on the grill or under a broiler. Heck, you could even bake them if you wanted too. 

Ingredients

6 to 12 Chicken Drumsticks
3 Tablespoons of a Spicy Dried Seasoning Blend (I make my own secret blend, which only few people know about.)
1 Cup of Sweet Barbecue Sauce (Again, I make my own secret maple BBQ sauce as well. Homemade is best)


Instructions

1. Heat up the grill or broiler on medium to high heat. 
2. Wash the drumsticks and sprinkle the spicy seasoning blend of your choice onto them. 
3. Place the drumsticks on the grill or under the broiler on a pan and cook them up until they are golden brown and crisp. This takes about 15 to 20-minutes. 
4. Now, brush on some of the barbecue sauce and cook the chicken for another couple of minutes so it can soak into the chicken and stick onto it well. 
5. Remove the drumsticks from the grill or from underneath the broiler and allow them to cool for about 5-minutes before serving them up. This will help keep the chicken juicy and tender.
