bbq: Hi, I have about 6 chicken drumsticks and a bottle of bbq sauce but I don't know the steps like do I cover it up put it in the oven or fry it on the stove first? I guess I want to know the steps in making it and if so other ingredients to put in to make it more yummy. Thank you all in advance.|||If you are cooking inside, I would suggest that you season the drumsticks with salt and pepper. Put them (without sauce) in a preheated oven of 375-400 for about 40 minutes. Check them and see if the juices are running clear. Rosey colored juice means they are not done all the way. When they seem almost done, you can baste them with the sauce and put back in for another five or so minutes just to glaze the chicken. If you sauce them too early, the sugar in the sauce wil burn and you will have a mess on your hands. Another thing, I would line whatever pan you are using with foil. The above possible mess is awful to clean. this way you just throw it out. Alternately, if you have a grill outside, you can cook the chicken the same way outside turning occasionally over a moderately hot grill and then sauce at the end.|||This site has a great Drumstick Chicken BBQ recipe: www.tastychickenrecipe.com I like this site cause its FREE and I dont feel like im bein sold something.|||I like to marinate by chicken in beer for about an hour or so. My absolute favorite to cook them would be to slow smoke them on a smoker or BBQ pit. Soak hickory, mesquite, or apple wood in beer and just a splash of vinegar, preferrably balsamic (but white will work alright too) for about an hour. If you don't have access to some sort of smoking device, you can do it in your oven. Wrap the wood chips, which you can pick up at walmart or under any tree that you see, in foil. Wrap tightly and poke holes in the top of the foil bundle. Put in the oven, set at about 250-300 degrees, over the direct heat of the oven. If you don't mind clean up, put the chicken directly on the oven rack. If not, you can put in on a pan at the highest pan in the oven. Preferably on a wire rack inside the pan. Take a little of the bbq sauce, and mix it with beer. Just enough to loosen the sauce, if it is a thicker sauce. Dip the chicken in the sauce at the start of the cooking process. When the chicken is cooked or almost cooked thoroughly, about 40 minutes, baste it with the rest of the sauce that hasn't been mixed with beer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes more. I hope it's a sweet, smoky bbq sauce. That is the best. If not, add a little molasses or brown sugar and honey to the sauce and simmer it. For an added kick, take a jalapeno or two and toss it with olive oil and a pinch of your favorite seasoning. Put your oven on broil, and roast them for about 10 minutes turning every so often until they are black-ish but not burnt. Put them in a plastic bag until they cool. then you can peel the skin and remove the seeds. Cut them up and add to your sauce and then simmer. Adds a little heat, not much, and a unique flavor that will make all your friends think your a master chef. Eat you heart out Bobby Flay.
