Honey-Molasses Chicken Drumsticks

Hellooooo!  My Asylum isn't organized enough for me to know if I used this recipe already or not, but I do know that it's good enough to repeat so I'm not going to worry about it.  I made it last night, love it everytime.  I use my electric skillet and it cooks the sauce down perfectly.  I found it in Cooking Light back in 2005.  Another thing to love about this one is that it can feed a group for pretty cheap.  It's all about the chicken legs!

Honey-Molasses Chicken Drumsticks

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

2 Tablespoons water

2 Tablespoons honey

2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 Tablespoon molasses

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon olive oil

6 chicken drumsticks, skinned

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine first 7 ingredients, stirring with a whisk.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Sprinkle the 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 1 minute or until mixture is thick and a mahogany color, and chicken is well coated.  Remove from heat; cool 15 minutes.  Cover and chill.

Serves 6, 1 drum stick each

Be sure to have plenty of napkins available!
