Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Ding! Ding! Ding! I finally made a food that Liam will eat! Yahoooooooooooo! He said "Mommy! Hot candy chicken!" To me it wasn't excessively sweet but it did have a nice flavor.
It was really easy and I just used what I had on hand. I started to use lime juice and molasses instead of apple juice and jam but when I opened the jar of molasses it sighed really loudly and started bubbling. That didn't seem right to me. Are molasses supposed to talk to you? Grody to the max!
On that pleasing note...
Apple Mango Chicken Drumsticks (collected from my imagination)
2-3 pounds drumsticks, skinless
2 cups apple juice
1/2 jar of mango jam
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Add all ingredients except the chicken to a saucepan and cook on low until well mixed. Put chicken in a large bowl with a lid and pour the marinate on top. Marinate overnight.
Bake on 350 until cooked through, about an hour.
I served these drumsticks with Annie's macaroni and cheese that I enhanced with a tablespoon of cream cheese, edamame roasted with lime juice and cumin seeds, and applesauce.
