Maple Crunch Drumsticks Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together the salt, sugar and water in a large bowl until dissolved. Submerge the chicken in the brine and place in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the brine, pat dry with paper towels and brush with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil.
• Set up a grill with a smoker box filled with wood chips and preheat one side of the grill to high. Once smoking, lower the temperature to medium and place the chicken on the cooler side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning each drumstick a few times. Cook until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chicken from the grill.
• Mix together the cornstarch and remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until dissolved. Brush the exterior of the chicken with the mixture.
• Place the chicken back on the hot side of the grill and cook, turning, until the skin is crispy on all sides.
• Melt the butter, hot sauce and maple syrup in a small pot over low heat (or in the microwave). Whisk until fully blended, and then pour over the chicken before serving.

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 375*F. Line a baking sheet with wax paper(or parchment paper). Mix the nuts, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and 3 tbls. maple syrup in a medium bowl, and spread in a single layer on the prepared pan. Stirring every 5 minutes to evenly coat, bake until mixture is fragrant and toasted-about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Stir the cranberries and the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup into the oatmeal.
• To serve, pour 1/4 cup milk over each serving and top with the maple glazed nuts. Enjoy!
• Note:.
• If you like, make only the glazed nuts, and triple the batch and keep on hand to eat alone. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Bring first 7 ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring often, 6 minutes. Remove 1/4 cup chili sauce mixture; brush evenly on drumsticks. Reserve remaining mixture for basting.
• Prepare a hot fire by piling up charcoal on one side of grill, leaving other side empty. (For gas grills, light only one side, heating to 400° to 500°.) Arrange drumsticks on food grate on unlit side.
• Grill drumsticks, covered with grill lid, 1 hour or until chicken is done, turning once and basting with remaining chili sauce mixture every 15 minutes.
