"This sauce has the perfect balance, thanks Sunny A. It's my favorite for drumsticks. I buy the big bulk packages of drumsticks and whip up this sauce. Marinating and basting options follow. I just baste as it cooks and it's delicious. Recipe is for 3 lbs. chicken wings. I use 12 big drumsticks and have no sauce left over."

Yields:: 12 drumsticks
Serves:: 3-4

ingredients

1-2 jalapenos or 1 habanero, chopped
29.58 ml soy sauce
29.58 ml honey
29.58 ml light brown sugar or 14.79 ml splenda brown sugar
14.79 ml granulated sugar
4.92 ml fennel seed
4.92 ml cayenne pepper
4.92 ml allspice
4.92 ml dried thyme
2.46 ml ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
29.58 ml apple cider vinegar
29.58 ml fresh lime juice
29.58 ml fresh orange juice

directions

Combine jalapenos through scallions in a blender and puree. Add vinegar, lime, orange juice and blend until smooth.
To Marinate: Place chicken in bag, add marinade, refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Remove chicken and bake. Meanwhile, boil marinade and reduce. Use the sauce to glaze the chicken.
To Baste : Spray baking pan, salt and pepper drumsticks, baste on skin side up, cook for 10-15 min., flip, baste other side and continue until fully cooked. The crispy skin is so good.
I cook drumsticks at 450 for 35-40 minutes and they crisp up well for me. If I want extra crispy I'll broil for a couple minutes too.

I LOVE to cook...it is very relaxing to me. A big THANKS to all the cooks on this web site for sharing their recipes and always giving me wonderful meals to make. Our pugs, Norman and Otis are the biggest foodies we will ever know. I'm another one of "those people" that read cookbooks like novels. I'm forcing myself not to buy anymore! because I don't really cook from them I just like to read them. I prefer using my cookbooks and recipes online because they take up less space and are always accessible. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" />
