Grilled Chicken Drumsticks With Savory Caramel Food

GRILLED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS WITH SAVORY CARAMEL

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for high indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off; for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side); oil grate. Bring garlic, lemongrass, sugar, vinegar, red pepper flakes, cumin, black pepper, and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 8 minutes. Let cool and stir in fish sauce. Transfer half of sauce to a small bowl and set aside for serving.
• Season chicken with salt. Place over indirect heat and cover grill with vent open (if you have one) and positioned over chicken. Grill, turning once or twice, until skin is browned and crisp and meat is nearly cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Uncover and move chicken to hotter part of grill. Continue to grill, turning often and basting with remaining sauce, until lacquered and lightly charred in places, 6-8 minutes longer. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.

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).

• Place drumsticks on grill, and brush with sauce.
• Close cover, and grill 4 minutes.
• Flip chicken, and brush with sauce.
