Sweet ‘n Spicy Asian Glazed Grilled Drumsticks

Here’s a yummy, inexpensive, weeknight summer dish – get some drumsticks, remove the skin (see video below for a quick & easy tip on how) and marinated them overnight with a little soy sauce, vinegar and spices, the longer they marinate the better.

Then after work, light the grill (or broiler) and grill them until cooked through. Once cooked, brush them with a sweet ‘n spicy glaze – you won’t miss the skin! You can easily adjust the heat to suit your family’s taste. I leave the glaze off my toddler’s because she’s not a fan of sauces or spice, and she loves it.

You can use any part of the chicken you wish, but we love eating drumsticks in my house. There’s nothing like picking them up with your hands and getting a little messy – super family friendly and fairly inexpensive. And bonus, they take less than 30 minutes to cook. This would go great with any side, try it my Asian Mango Slaw[1] recipe to keep an Asian theme or make a salad and top it with this Asian Ginger Carrot Dressing[2].

I am trying to get some practice doing more videos and I thought why not share this really great tip on how to skin a drumstick. The video is nothing fancy, no editing or music, I just filmed it with my phone. Some of you may already know this great tip, but for those of you who don’t, I think you’ll find this super helpful!

By the way, I found it tricky to calculate the drumsticks on the bone, there are so many variables so I cut one off the bone to weigh it, and found each meat of the drumstick weighed about 2 oz, without the skin and bone. These were calculated accordingly, but drumsticks vary in size, so keep that in mind.

Grill the drumsticks on a rack lightly coating with cooking spray over medium heat, turning every 5 minutes or so until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. 

Brush the chili sauce mixture over the drumsticks on all sides and remove from the grill. Finish with chopped chives if desired and enjoy.

Lemon Feta Chicken with Oregano

Mediterranean ingredients such as lemon, oregano and feta cheese turn ordinary chicken into a spectacular dinner. The cheese forms a light crust on top when broiled – you won’t even miss the skin!

This is sooo easy to make with only a few ingredients; simply marinate the legs with lemon juice and oregano and bake. Once it’s done, top it with fresh grated feta cheese and broil until golden.

I keep this simple and serve it with a salad on the side or you can make this with one of my favorite summer sides, Sauteed Zucchini with Summer Tomatoes[1].

I first published this recipe back in 2009 using skinless chicken thighs, but a year or two ago the USDA changed the data for chicken thighs and the calories, fat and points increased so much, I started using drumsticks instead. There’s a part of me that hopes they made a mistake but until then I use thighs less often.

The drumsticks I used were pretty small, so if yours are really large the points may increase slightly.  Hope you enjoy!

Buttermilk Marinated Roasted Chicken Drumsticks

Buttermilk Marinated Roasted Chicken Drumsticks

by Pam on April 29, 2014

When I saw the recipe at Nibble Me This[1] for this marinade, I knew I would make it. My kids are loving drumsticks lately and I am always on the lookout for new marinade recipes. The marinade took minutes to throw together and I let the chicken marinate for 6 hours. I ended up roasting the chicken instead of grilling and it turned out terrific. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful and the kids and my husband gave it a thumbs up. I served these drumsticks with Green Bean Bacon Wrapped Bundles[2] and Scalloped Potatoes.[3] Thanks for the terrific marinade recipe Chris!

Combine the buttermilk, Greek yogurt, lime juice, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, onion powder, and minced garlic together in a large ziplock; mix until well combined. Add the drumsticks to the marinade and place them into the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

Take the chicken drumsticks out of the refrigerator 20 minutes prior to cooking them. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil then coat it with cooking spray.

Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Place the chicken onto the prepared baking sheet then put into the oven. Roast the chicken for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
