We slow-grilled the chicken over medium-low heat to prevent flare-ups from the dripping sauce. Green-Cabbage Coleslaw makes a crisp side dish. Ingredients 1 ½ cups dry red wine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger 1 garlic clove, minced 8 chicken drumsticks, skin on Coarse salt Green-Cabbage Coleslaw with Vinaigrette Directions Bring wine, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until mixture has thickened to the consistency of honey, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool. 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). 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.) Place drumsticks on grill, and brush with sauce. Close cover, and grill 4 minutes. Flip chicken, and brush with sauce. Continue to cook, flipping and brushing with sauce every 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through, about 20 minutes total. Season with salt. Serve with coleslaw. Rate it Print
