Orange marmalade Barbeque Chicken
This is a combination of sweet, spicy and smoky barbeque sauce paired up along with tangy, sweet orange marmalade.
Ingredients
- ½ cup barbeque sauce
- ½ cup orange marmalade
- ¼ tsp black pepper powder
- ¼ tsp red chili flakes
- ¼ tsp salt, or as required
- 1 tsp parsley, optional
- 1 tsp butter/oil
- ⅛ tsp paprika, optional
- 500-600 grams chicken drumsticks (approx. 5 pieces)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add orange marmalade, barbeque chicken, black pepper powder, red chili flakes and salt and mix well.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix well. Cover with cling wrap and let the chicken marinate for 2 hours up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Pre-heat the grill on medium heat. Grill the chicken for about 15 minutes on each side. Brush with some leftover marinade and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
- In a pan, add some butter/oil and let it heat. Add the leftover marinade and then some paprika (if you are adding) and mix well. Remove from heat once the sauce thickens.
- Garnish chicken with some parsley and serve hot along with sauce.
Notes
- Adding red chili flakes is just for extra spiciness. This is completely optional.
- Marinate the chicken atleast for 2 hours before grilling. You can marinate it overnight too, if time permits.
- If the chicken dries out while grilling, then brush some leftover marinade and then continue the grilling process.
- The leftover marinade is cooked in a pan over medium heat to serve as a sauce on the side.
- While making the sauce to serve as the side, adding paprika is completely optional. Ignore if you do not want it spicy.
- Do not over cook the sauce. Remember that it thickens more as it cools down. So, remove from heat appropriately.
- You can garnish the chicken with fresh or dried parsley leaves.
