Method

  1. Place the chicken in a resealable bag.

  2. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and pour them into the bag.

  3. Seal the bag and massage the ingredients to evenly coat the chicken.

  4. Allow the chicken to marinate for 4 to 12 hours to enhance the flavor.

  5. Preheat the BBQ oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  6. Cook the chicken on a raised rack for approximately 35 minutes.

  7. Brush the chicken with the glaze and move it closer to the flame for 5 minutes, turning frequently to prevent burning. If using an oven, switch it to a medium broil setting.

  8. Brush the chicken with glaze again, then broil for 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and glaze it once more, then broil for an additional 2 minutes.

  9. Note: Although I used chicken drumsticks for this recipe, you can use your preferred chicken part. This recipe also works well with chicken breast cut into strips, as shown in the accompanying photo.
