    My family loves to eat chicken, especially since Kay passed chicken with her FPIES allergy I’ve been making chicken like crazy, it’s her favorite!  She really loves chicken noodle soup, but with the weather so nice and all the parties going on I’m sharing out favorite way to make chicken drumsticks!  Our Grilled Sweet Asian Chicken Drumsticks Recipe are always a crowd pleaser!  The sweet sauce is perfection.

    I like boil my chicken drumsticks before cooking.  I boil the flavor in them, not out.  I use 2 large containers of Swanson Chicken Broth!  Thankfully I can now score a deal on a six pack of Swanson Chicken Broth at my local Sam’s Club!

    Sweet Asian Chicken Drumsticks Recipe

    This meal is so easy to make before guests come over and then toss onto the grill when they arrive.  Don’t have an outdoor grill?  You can use an indoor one too!  Like I said, this is an easy chicken recipe and so delicious!  I never saw my family devour chicken drumsticks that fast.  Obviously their new favorite way to eat them!  The chicken broth really gives the chicken extra flavor combined with all the other flavors I add into the broth to make it Sweet Asian Chicken Drumsticks Recipe.  The fresh ginger, spicy mustard, garlic, and you can’t forget the apricot preserves that gives it the sweetness!  I use apricot preserves instead of duck sauce, but you can use either.  Just don’t forget the chicken broth!  Also, don’t waste that delicious broth, it’s perfectly fine to reuse to flavor rice, cook veggies in and more!  Think of it like a “souped up” chicken broth.  It’s full of flavor!  You can double the amount of glaze this way you can have a little extra for dipping too.
