makes 12 drumsticks, about 6 servings

you’ll need…
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons allspice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon cloves
12 chicken drumsticks
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons orange marmalade

let’s get to it…
Line two large rimmed baking pans with foil. Coat each with cooking spray. Place oven racks in middle part of oven. Heat oven to 450°F.
Blend brown sugar, thyme, red pepper flakes, allspice, garlic powder, mustard powder and cloves in a blender container. Turn blender on low and slowly increase speed to high. Pulse blender on high for 10 seconds or until thoroughly mixed. Pour spice blend into a Ziploc® Brand Sandwich Bag or an 8-ounce Ziploc® Brand Container; set aside.
Place 4 drumsticks in a Gallon Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bag. Pour ¼ of the spice blend into the bag. Shake until coated. Remove drumsticks and place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining drumsticks. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until cooked through.
Heat barbecue sauce and marmalade in a small saucepan on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly. Serve with cooked chicken drumsticks.

Cook’s Tip: Keep it neat! Wrap the ends of the drumsticks with a colorful napkin before placing drumsticks on a large serving tray.
