Sweet and Sticky Grilled Drumsticks

Step 1

Bring wine, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan.

Step 2

Reduce heat, and simmer until mixture has thickened to the consistency of honey, 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 3

Let cool.

Step 4

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).

Step 5

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.)

Step 6

Place drumsticks on grill, and brush with sauce.

Step 7

Close cover, and grill 4 minutes.

Step 8

Flip chicken, and brush with sauce.

Step 9

Continue to cook, flipping and brushing with sauce every 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through, about 20 minutes total.

Step 10

Season with salt.
