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.
