Barbecued Chicken Drumsticks Recipe

Ingredients for Barbecued Chicken Drumsticks

• 4 chicken drumsticks (about 1.5 lbs total)
• fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
• Garlic Clove
• Tomato Paste
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Prepared Mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

How to Make Barbecued Chicken Drumsticks

1. **Make the BBQ Sauce:** In a screw-top jar, combine 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until thoroughly combined.
2. **Prep the Chicken:** Rinse 4 chicken drumsticks (about 1.5 lbs total) under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
3. **Marinate:** Place the chicken drumsticks in a large, oven-safe dish. Pour the BBQ sauce over the drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the drumsticks occasionally to ensure even marination.
4. **Preheat & Bake:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. **Roast the Chicken:** Place the marinated chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Baste the chicken with the remaining sauce halfway through cooking.
6. **Serve:** Transfer the barbecued chicken drumsticks to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite salad.
