Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Serves: 4

The deeper flavour of chicken’s dark meat comes to the fore in this recipe, complemented by a sweet-tart marmalade made primarily of caramelized onions.

Ingredients

Grilled Drumsticks with Onion Marmalade:

12 chicken drumsticks
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup (125 mL) soy sauce
1/4 cup (60 mL) chicken broth
1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) ginger, fresh, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar

Onion Marmalade:

1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
3 shallots, chopped
1/2 cup (125 mL) red wine
1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar

Instructions

Grilled Drumsticks with Onion Marmalade

1 Put drumsticks in a resealable plastic bag. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over drumsticks. Close bag and turn it so the marinade coats each drumstick. Refrigerate overnight.
2 Preheat barbecue on medium. Grill drumsticks, with the lid closed, until a thermometer inserted into the drumstick reads 165°F (74°C) (about 20 minutes). Serve with Onion Marmalade.

Onion Marmalade

1 In a skillet, heat oil and sauté onions and shallots until deep brown. Pour in sugar and red wine; continue to stir cook until no liquid remains. May be served hot or cold.
