    5. Had to see what all the hoop-da-la was all about…This is a very good,easy and tasty recipe! I followed it to a “T”. Next time my DH wants me to use chicken thighs instead of drumsticks. I did double the recipe for 3 of us. The sauce never really thickened or got to a thick and sticky glaze. The ease of preparation, as well as being an inexpensive meal is a real seller for this recipe. I served this with Meow’s Ramen Fried “Rice” #34716 which complimented it very nicely. Thanks Jan for sharing this with us. 

      1. This dish is less about getting the sauce to thicken than it is to flavor the chicken. If you really want it to stick… mix in a couple of tablespoons of cornmeal with water during the last 20 minutes… it will make the sauce stick like a more traditional BBQ sauce.

    6. Gotta love easy and delicious meals! Thank you for linking up to Tasty Tuesdays at Creative K Kids, I can’t wait to see what you come up with next week!
