Bourbon Molasses Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients

• 1 (about 1 3/4 pound) package Perdue® Harvestland® Free Range Chicken Drumsticks
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Remove skin from chicken. Place drumsticks in a shallow baking dish.
3. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter and cook onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in ketchup, bourbon, molasses, brown sugar, chili powder and salt. Simmer, stirring frequently for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly reduced and thickened.
5. Pour sauce over chicken. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is cooked to 180 degrees F internal temperature. Stir sauce on bottom and corners of pan halfway through cooking to prevent sticking.
