Spicy Chipotle Lime Chicken Drumsticks with Honey Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumsticks
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Zest and juice of 2 limes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the minced chipotle peppers, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, lime zest, lime juice, and olive oil.
- Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and grill for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice charred exterior.
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey and soy sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Brush the honey glaze over the grilled drumsticks during the last 5 minutes of cooking, allowing the glaze to caramelize and create a sticky coating on the chicken.
- Transfer the drumsticks to a serving platter, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve hot. Enjoy!
