My brain is a complete blank right now. I can’t seem to form coherent sentences, but I will keep trying for the sake of this post! I made these Barbecue Chicken Wingettes the other night and we were definitely licking our fingers clean. Very delicious. And whenever you can get all messy and use your hands is always a fun change. My daughter loved smearing the sauce all over her hands and licking it right off. I think she ate more sauce than actual chicken. The recipe called for “drumettes“, but I could only find chicken labeled as “wingettes“. If you ask me it looks exactly the same, but I may be wrong. Nevertheless, this dish was a hit and I will definitely be making it again! I got the recipe here. Thank you Martha Stewart!
Brown Sugar Barbeque Chicken Drumettes
adapted from Martha Stewart (I scaled it down)
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
course salt and black pepper
2 pounds chicken drumettes, patted dry
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, sugar, worcestershire, and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 1/2 cup for tossing raw chicken; use rest for baked chicken.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
3. Place drumettes on baking sheets and toss with 1/2 cup sauce.
4. Bake chicken until opaque throughout, 20-25 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Toss baked drumettes with a little more sauce and serve the remaining sauce on the side.
And one more final note, my dear sweet Mother recently started a French Linen business called My French Table. She has some amazing French Imported tablecloths, aprons, kitchen hand towels and napkins. They are really beautiful! Make sure you check it out!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Thank you! I love it! This food blogging world has made me some wonderful foodie friends. I love visiting your site.
I, too, make a lot of bar-be-que chicken. I don’t make so much by scratch as I don’t have a lot of time, but I have found a really really good sauce made by Stonewall Kitchen. If you go to stonewallkitchen.com, take a look at their sauce. The honey bar-be-que is to die for and so handy in a pinch.
Thanks again sweetie. Have a good weekend.
OMG, I love anything with brown sugar in it. I have been searching for a great bbq wings recipes and I think I just found it. Heck, I may even have to make it next week.
You are too kind and I’m so happy! I was just on your blog last night looking at your caramel fudge brownies. My YW leader used to make them all the time and when she didn’t we would harass her endlessly. I love them! I agree that this is one case when it is worth it to buy the mix. Thanks again. I’ll be hap-hap-happy all day!
