Grilled Honey-Balsamic Chicken Drumsticks

These are pretty tasty...will go 8.5/10.  I would make them again, but would change slightly: needs to be regular, not low-sodium soy sauce, omit the sesame seeds, and save out more of the marinade/sauce to use for dipping.

Ingredients:

1/2 c. balsamic vinegar

1/3 c. honey

1/4 c. regular soy sauce (do not use low sodium)

1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)

8 chicken drumsticks

Directions:

1. In a medium (non-reactive) bowl, whisk together all ingredients (except the chicken).  Save out at least 1/4 c. of the mixture (I recommend 1/2 c. (see note above)), then add the drumsticks to the mixture in the main bowl.  

2. Turn drumsticks in sauce to coat, then cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (up to overnight).  If you can remember to do so, turn drumsticks during marinating (I forgot).

3. Light a grill (I used charcoal; otherwise, set grill to 'medium'.  Oil the grate.  When the coals are ready, add chicken to grill and cook, covered, turning every 5-8 minutes, until cooked through (around 30+ minutes total).  Discard the marinade the chicken was in.  Close to when the chicken is done, brush with some of the reserved (clean) marinade/sauce.  Serve with the sauce and enjoy!
