BARBECUE CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 1/2 pounds small chicken drumsticks (about 18)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
Vegetable oil, for brushing

Steps:

Make the chicken: Combine the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika and cumin in a small bowl. Season the chicken all over with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, then rub all over with the spice mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce: Whisk the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, orange juice, garlic, molasses, hoisin sauce, mustard and chili powder in a small saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. (You should have 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups sauce.)
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat a grill to medium and oil the grates. Grill the chicken, covered and turning occasionally, until lightly charred and a thermometer inserted into a drumstick (without touching the bone) registers 170 degrees F, 35 to 45 minutes, brushing with some of the barbecue sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a platter and brush with more barbecue sauce. Serve with the remaining sauce.

GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN LEGS

Grilled BBQ Chicken Legs image

I've adapted this recipe from many other recipes, taking things that i've liked and things I didn't like as much out. I love this simple recipe as it brings simple BBQing to another level. It all starts off with the brine/marinade. I find that a few hours of brining is usually enough, but for this recipe longer really is better. I usually at least brine my legs for at least 12 hours (Meaning, I usually end up start the brining process at night and let it brine until lunch or dinner the next day).

Categories Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h15m

Yield 30 Chicken legs, 7-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

30 chicken legs (Costco sells a package of 30 for about $10)
1 1/2 cups water
3 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup salt (Kosher Salt is best) or 1/4 cup seasoning salt (Lawry's is a good option)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup mccormick's steak seasoning
2 tablespoons pepper
5 -6 fresh garlic cloves
3 -4 sprigs rosemary, stripped from stem
barbecue sauce (I love Sweet Baby Ray's)

Steps:

Mix all brine/marinade ingredients in a large bowl and then separate into zip lock bags and add chicken.
Chill and marinade for at least 4 hours or more (I usually brine mine for 12 hours).
Grill chicken on a well oiled grill until browned on all sides, turning only once, about 15 to 20 mins each side. (A good indicator that legs are being cooked well in the inside is by observing blood seeping out from the top of the legs).
Since all grills run at different temperatures, (if possible) make sure that grill is covered first and allowed to raise to 400 degrees before uncovering the grill, oiling the racks, and placing the legs onto the grill. This will help your grilling off to a great start.
Depending on your environment, grill your chicken without the cover as the sudden increase in heat can turn your legs to charcoal.
Towards the end of your grilling(5-10 mins) liberally spread a bbq of your choice (I like "Sweet Baby Ray's") on to one side of the chicken. Then (if possible) place chicken legs on a top rack for indirect heat with the bbq side of the leg down and the none bbq'd side up.
Spread the other side with bbq now and let the bbq really caramelize onto the legs for 5-10mins on indirect heat.(if you dont have a top rack, just reduce this time to 3 to 5mins).
Now take the legs off the grill and Wah-Lah! You've just made some amazing BBQ'd legs. Bon Appetite!
*All grills have hot spots so be mindful of these spots and switch your chicken around the grill as not to completely char them.
