2 ea
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups dry red wine
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ginger, finely grated fresh
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 8 chicken drumsticks, skin on

directions
- 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.

Great recipe! I was short on time, so to speed things up, I cooked the chicken with the sauce when the sauce had thickened. I then finished it up in the grill flipping it once and it came out perfect!<br/>I also didn't have red wine, so I used chicken stock instead.<br/>Will make this again for sure:)

I was at a complete loss with what to do with my chicken breasts for dinner, so I turned to this recipe. Naturally, 5 minutes into preheating my gas grill, the gas ran out, so I was forced to use the oven. I baked my thawed chicken breasts skin side down at 400 for 30 minutes. Then I flipped them right side up, made the slash marks in the skin and flesh, coated the breasts with the sauce, and cooked another 15 minutes (they were VERY large chicken breasts, bone-in), basting with the sauce every 5 min. I took them out, poured the rest of the sauce on, and let sit for about 10 minutes until we were sitting down to eat. Holy cow, the taste is absolutely amazing. DH and I LOVED this- I am adding ti to our regular rotation. I can't wait to do these on the grill! Thanks for posting!
