Chicken drumsticks stay deliciously moist when grilled-even with the skin removed. Minty sweet-and-sour dipping sauce adds a refreshing twist to "ordinary" grilled chicken. Make it a meal: Serve with brown rice and slices of fresh pineapple.
Ingredients
* 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly grated orange zest
* 1/4 cup(s) orange juice
* 1/4 cup(s) water
* 3 tablespoon(s) honey
* 1 tablespoon(s) cider vinegar, plus 1 teaspoon, divided
* 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt, divided
* 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground coriander
* 1 teaspoon(s) cornstarch
* 1/4 cup(s) chopped fresh mint
* 8 chicken drumsticks, (about 2 pounds) skin removed, trimmed
* 1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
Directions
1. Preheat grill to medium. (No grill? See Broiler Variation, below.)
2. To prepare dipping sauce, combine orange zest, orange juice, water, honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and coriander in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk cornstarch and the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. Add to the saucepan and return to a boil, whisking until thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in mint.
3. Sprinkle drumsticks with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the drumsticks until crispy on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total. Serve the drumsticks with the dipping sauce on the side.
4. Broiler variation: Position oven rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat broiler to high. Prepare sauce (Step 2). Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and pepper (Step 3), then broil, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total.
