Southern BBQ Chicken

BBQ Chicken Legs Roasted On The Hot Flaming Charcoal Grill,

Prep Time : 15 Minutes

Cook Time : 45 Minutes

 

Ingredients :

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 large cloves cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

 

Directions :

 Mash brown sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a mortar and pestle to form a paste. Spoon paste into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, coat with the paste, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag.

Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.

Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce into onions; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.

Cook chicken on the preheated grill until lightly browned on all sides, about 1 minute per side.

Turn off one of the grill burners or move the coals and move chicken so there is no heat source directly below it. Baste drumsticks with the sauce and cook another 10 minutes; turn and again and baste the chicken with the sauce. Continue to cook drumsticks until juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more.

An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C)
