Home Kitchen Peach Balsamic Glazed Drumsticks

There are things in life couples won’t ever agree on.

It’s a fact.

For example. I loved these Peach Balsamic Glazed Drumsticks they are sweet, tangy and juicy. Someone at the table said his usual comment: “The sauce needs a habanero in it.” Then he said that they were simply “all right”. Wha-WHAT?? I promptly punched him in the arm and told him that he was crazy, rolled my eyes and then reached for a second drumstick.

To cook this Peach Balsamic Glazed Chicken Drumsticks Set out:

• 8 skinless, bone-in chicken drumsticks
• peach preserves – or may sub with apricot peach (which is what I did here)
• balsamic vinegar
• fresh ground ginger, grated
• a pinch of cayenne
• kosher salt, to taste

In a large mixing bowl, add 1 teaspoon freshly ground ginger root. I keep my leftover pieces in the freezer and grate it when needed. But, if you need to use ground ginger, then only use a half a teaspoon of the stuff.

Add in the 1/2 cup peach preserves.

Then add in kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper and then pour in the 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar. Give it a stir and then reserve 1/4 cup for some final glazing.

Add the drumsticks.

Use tongs to toss until well coated.

Place the glazed chicken drumsticks on greased grill grates that has pre-heated to medium-low. Notice how I start off all organized? yeeeeeah… it doesn’t last for long.

Grill covered for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.

Then 10 minutes before they are done pull out the reserved glaze…. ohhhh yeah baby!!

Then using your pastry brush, slather it all over the grilled chicken.

Truly, I could drink this stuff.

Oh me oh my.

Like I said, sweet and tangy. The key to these chicken drumsticks is a crispy skin and a good char! Reliable next to my Apple & Cabbage Slaw I’m simply saying.

These are savory!
