Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken drumettes
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the drumettes in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Drumettes: Remove the drumettes from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Grill the drumettes for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
- Add the Glaze: Brush the reserved marinade onto the drumettes during the last 5 minutes of grilling to create a sticky glaze.
- Serve: Remove drumettes from the grill, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.
