Honey Garlic Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks
You gotta love a finger-licking good drumstick, especially when it is lathered in barbecue sauce. You get to eat with your hands, rip your teeth into some meat, tear it from the bones, and all the while sport a barbecue sauce mustache. It is primal and delicious. Nothing like eating meat off the bones to remind you where you fall on the food chain, am I right? Yes, this comes from the girl who only eats meat a couple times a week. It’s like those giant turkey legs sold at county fairs or amusement parks like Disneyland. They always look delicious and you always feel like a indulgent slob while gnawing away at the delicious meat. This recipe is no exception.
A variation on this barbecue sauce can be found in my Slow Cooker cookbook Yes, you can order it now and yes, it is awesome. All of my taste testers who ate their way through the writing of the book were eagerly anticipating it and now you can too! End of shameless plug.
Back to the recipe at hand. Drumsticks are one of my go-to easy meals. They are as easy as season, bake, eat. This time I have you whisking up a quick homemade barbecue sauce. A little extra love and lathering goes a long ways so I have you doing a second coat of sauce mid-bake. So we’ll call them as easy as lather, bake, lather, bake, eat. Did that even make sense? This sauce will have everyone at the table eating primal and licking their fingers all along the way. Serve with napkins, of course! Unless you were raised in a barn and then more power to you!
