Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds chicken drumsticks, (skin on)
  • 1 large white onion, (peeled, halved, and cut into 1/4 inch slices)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 whole canned chipotle peppers, (finely minced)
  • 3 tablespoons canned adobe sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Parsley for garnish, (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
  • Pour in the water and nestle the sliced onions around the chicken.
  • Evenly distribute the salt and ground black pepper over the chicken. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for one hour.
  • In the meantime, with the exception of the parsley, measure the remaining ingredients into a bowl and whisk together to combine.
  • After the one hour has passed, remove the chicken from the oven, remove the aluminum foil and discard it.
  • Baste the chicken with half of the sauce mixture and return to the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Once again, remove the chicken from the oven. Baste with the remaining sauce and place back in the oven.
  • Switch your oven setting from bake to broil at 500 degrees.
  • Broil the chicken for 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully! Depending on how fast your oven broiler heats up, the chicken could burn. You want the sauce to slightly char on the top, but not burnt.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle fresh cut parsley on top and serve immediately.
