Honey Soy Chicken Drumsticks
"This is out of "The Backyard Barbecue Cookbook" We don't really care for drumsticks so I used this on skinless chicken breasts. Worked great. I have it marked "excellent!" in the book. You can add a little chili sauce if you prefer it hotter. Hope you enjoy! Cooking time does include 1 hour marinating."

Really delicious! I don't have a grill so I browned the chicken on the stove then finished cooking them in a 350 oven for about 40 minutes. Next time I think I will try cooking them only on the stove as another reviewer tried. Made for Please Review My Recipe cooking games. -
I marinated chicken thighs and drumsticks for 5 to 6 hours....started marinating when I went home for lunch, and started cooking after I got off work! They turned out very moist and the marinade was perfect. Thanks for posting! -
Wonderful flavor, and the smell while they were on the grill was out of this world delicious! It brought everyone over to stare in delight. I used sherry wine and added a little bit of minced ginger. Thanks for sharing! -
We greatly enjoyed these, made with skinless chicken breasts, exactly to the recipe using sherry, and served with Karen=^..^= 's Recipe #185145, which was great for mopping up the juices. Delicious blend of flavours in the marinade. Pan-fried not BBQd as alas I have no BBQ. I'm sure that these would be even more delicious BBQd. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Teresa.

This is very good marinade. I followed ingredients per recipe except we used chicken tenders and we ran out of sherry so added some white wine. Made for Please Review My Recipe.

This marinade gave the chicken a lot of flavor. I subbed some dried shallots for the onion and used white wine instead of sherry, but otherwise the marinade was as directed. I wasn't watching the time very closely and had boneless chicken tenders, so I think I cooked them a tad too long...my fault, not the recipe. As such, they were dry but still had good flavor.
