HONEY- MOLASSES CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS
INGREDIENTS:
SAUCE:
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon minced garlic
CHICKEN:
1 teaspoon olive oil
6 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
6 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl; whisk together and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan, browning on all sides. Add honey mixture to pan, turning chicken to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 15 minutes or until chicken is done, turning chicken every 5 minutes. Uncover and cook an additional minute or until mixture is thick and darker color, and the chicken is well coated. Remove from heat; serve immediately, or cool before refrigerating.
I didn't have balsamic vinegar, so I just used regular vinegar. I also didn't have molasses, so I just skipped that part. Additionally, I used chicken thighs because that's what was on sale.
I made sure to drain any excess oil/liquid after cooking the chicken before I added the sauce. The sauce was really watery and wasn't glazing, so I let it cook uncovered on the stove for quite awhile (20 min?) to get it more to a glaze. Then once it starts glazing, watch it! I almost burned it all!
Hope you enjoy!
