How to make BBQ Chicken Drumsticks:

Make BBQ Sauce: Add tomato sauce, mustard, sugar, vinegar and soy sauce to a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Why you’ll love this recipe: it’s super flavorful since the chicken is first cooked bbq sauce, it pairs with any side dish, and is one of the cheapest meals (a dozen chicken legs only costs about $8). We love serving chicken legs at a BBQ or summer potluck and they get gobbled up so fast. Add Drumsticks to the sauce, cover pot and cook for about 20-30 minutes, or just until cooked through. Grill and Serve: Heat a gas grill over HIGH heat. Cook the drumsticks for a minute or so on each side, rotating them, allowing the sauce to caramelize and the skin to crisp and char.

Serve Chicken Drumsticks with:

Coleslaw Buttermilk cornbread or Flakey Biscuits Baked Potato Salad Pesto Tortellini Grilled Corn Salad Macaroni Salad Baked Beans Whipped Feta with Roasted Vegetables Wedge Salad
