Fresh Ginger Barbecued Drumsticks Food

SWEET-AND-STICKY GRILLED DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Bring wine, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until mixture has thickened to the consistency of honey, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
• Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes through the skin and flesh on both sides of each drumstick (this will help the flavors permeate the meat).
• Preheat grill to medium-low. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 7 seconds.) Place drumsticks on grill, and brush with sauce. Close cover, and grill 4 minutes. Flip chicken, and brush with sauce. Continue to cook, flipping and brushing with sauce every 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through, about 20 minutes total. Season with salt. Serve with coleslaw.

BAKED GARLIC AND GINGER CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients (drumsticks excluded) to a blender or a magic bullet and pulse a few times until garlic and ginger are a paste and the mixture emulsifies. Place the drumsticks in a large ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Close the bag and place in fridge; let it marinade for about 20 or 30 minutes. Could be marinated overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
• Place the chicken and all of the marinade in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for about 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and browned on the outside.

BARBECUE CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

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.
