Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dry red wine
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ginger finely grated fresh
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 8 chicken drumsticks skin on
- coarse salt
Instructions
- Bring the wine, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat, and simmer until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of honey, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
- Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes through the skin and flesh on both sides of each drumstick (this will help the flavors permeate the meat).
- Preheat grill to medium-low. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 7 seconds.)
- Place the drumsticks on the grill, and brush with sauce. Close the cover, and grill 4 minutes. Flip the chicken, and brush with sauce.
- Continue to cook, flipping and brushing with sauce every 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through, about 20 minutes total.
- Season with salt.
Enjoy!
