brown sugar hot chicken drumsticks
During university, I spent my summers working at a golf course. They had these amazing brown sugar hot chicken wings that used only brown sugar, butter and Frank’s red hot sauce. I quickly became addicted to these. They’re sweet, salty and spicy. They’re truly the perfectly balanced chicken wing in my opinion. Since they taste so delicious as a chicken wing, I thought it would be a great idea to use the sauce on chicken drumsticks! This is one of my favourite ways to make chicken drumsticks. I pair them with my creamy homemade blue cheese dip and they’re amazing!
