Honey Barbecue Drumsticks

Honey Barbecue Drumsticks would be a good addition to any Labor Day meal. They can be prepared by grilling them or cooking them in the oven.



10 - 12 fresh chicken drumsticks
2 cups of barbecue sauce (your favorite)
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp of honey 
1/4 tsp of black pepper
1/4 tsp of Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp of Emeril's Original Essence (or seasoning salt)

Preheat oven to 425° degrees.

Begin by bringing a 6 quart pot, half-filled with water, to a boil. Add the chicken drumsticks and cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until done (you will know when they're done by sticking a fork in them and the juice is clear).  Once the chicken drumsticks are done, transfer them to a greased cookie sheet (to prevent sticking).  Sprinkle the chicken legs with half of the black pepper, Italian seasoning, and Emeril's Original Essence and cook for 15 minutes or until the chicken is slightly crispy. Remove the chicken from the oven and coat the other side of the chicken with the remaining seasonings and cook another 10 - 15 minutes or until crisp.

While the chicken is cooking, mix together the barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Add the sauce to a small pot and heat on medium heat for 10 minutes. 

Remove the chicken drumsticks from the oven and coat the them with the prepared sauce. Cook the chicken drumsticks for 10 more minutes and serve with your favorite sides! Enjoy! Makes 4 - 6 servings.



For grilling: Prepare the chicken in the same way except once the chicken is done boiling, season them and add them to the grill and cook 5 - 10 minutes on each side and coat the the prepared sauce.
