Kickin' Chicken
Nonstick cooking spray
8 chicken drumsticks
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced, or 1 tsp bottled minced garlic
2 tsp cooking oil
3/4 c barbecue sauce
1/4 c ketchup
1/4 c orange juice (or water)
2 T packed brown sugar
2T light molasses or maple-flavored syrup
Several dashes bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)
Lightly coat a 15/10/1-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Skin chicken. Arrange chicken in prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan cook garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Stir in barbeque sauce, catsup, juice, brown sugar, molasses, and hot pepper sauce (if desired); heat through.
Reserve 1/4-1/2 c sauce. Carefully brush chicken with remaining sauce. Turn chicken and brush this side. Bake for 20-25 minutes more or until chicken is no longer pink (180 degrees). Reheat reserved sauce; drizzle some of the sauce over chicken.
