First of all, I would like to thank all of you my blog friends for your warm wishes on my birthday! I wish you and your families are happy and healthy!
This was the second meat I made for my family during those snowy days at the fireplace. And although now the weather here is warmer between 15° and 20° C, which is 59° to 68° in Fahrenheit, these drumsticks are ideal to make on the BBQ outside now! I saw this recipe on
Chow and since I had a bottle of maple syrup in my pantry, and believe me here maple syrup costs a small fortune as it comes all the way from the States, I thought I should give these a try. I made just couple of changes one being the omission of cayenne pepper, but as you know I have a sensitive stomach and thus I left that out. But you my friends can add as much as you can endure, no problem on that. Also, you will notice that these are a little ovedone, but I do love the skin so crunchy and a little burned. It is up to you to BBQ then as much as you want!
This recipe apart from being delicious, was so easy it made me very happy. Apart from the brining time the rest is made in no time. Easy, tasty and delicious what more can a housewife ask? I guess nothing else!
