BBQ chicken legs in sour sauce topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 8 medium chicken drumsticks (about 1 kg)
- 0.5 tsp coarse salt + to taste
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 0.5 cups of jam
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Preparation:
- Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then transfer to a large zip-lock plastic bag. In a glass measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and thyme.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken and seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce.:
In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, marmalade, mustard, sugar, salt, and crushed red pepper and heat over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
- Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat, moving the coals to one side of the grill and preparing the indirect heat zone.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Grill the legs over the coals until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes per side, turning frequently and brushing with sauce.
- Then transfer to indirect heat and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the roast registers 160°F (71°C), about 15 minutes.
