ROASTED TURKEY DRUMSTICKS WITH HOMEMADE BARBEQUE SAUCE

Full recipe and directions for ROASTED TURKEY DRUMSTICKS
Ingredients
6 turkey drumsticks
2 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tsp ground fennel seeds
1 tbsp salt

The Barbeque Sauce:
200g sugar (white or brown)
200g ketchup
300 ml orange juice
4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp mustard
1 tsp Sriracha (or hot pepper) sauce
1/2 tsp salt

Directions
PREPARATION
Thoroughly wash and dry the Turkey Drumsticks
Using a sharp knife, make 2-3 slots on each thigh for better heat penetration and even roasting
Mix the paprika, black pepper, ground fennel seeds, and salt to make the dry rub
Thoroughly coat the drumsticks with the rub; try to apply it as deeply as possible
Cover the drumsticks with parchment paper so they can properly cook without burning the oven
This will also keep them juicy for as long as possible

ROASTING
Set the oven to 380 F (or 190 C and roast the covered drumsticks for 90 minutes)
Meanwhile, prepare the Barbecue Sauce

BARBEQUE SAUCE
In a deep saucepan, pour 200 g of sugar, 200 g of ketchup, 2 tbsp of mustard, 1 cup of orange juice, 4 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, 4 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp of hot pepper sauce, and tsp of salt
Bring the ingredients to a boil on medium heat
Cook the sauce for 20-25 minutes, until it thickens to a glaze-like consistency
Take the Barbecue Sauce off the heat and let it cool down to room temperature

GLAZING AND BAKING
Once the Turkey Drumsticks are thoroughly cooked (after ~90 minutes in the oven), it is time to apply the first coat of BBQ Sauce
Take the drumsticks out of the oven, remove the parchment and brush them with a generous amount of BBQ Sauce
Return the glazed drumsticks back into the oven and bake them -uncovered- for another 15-20 minutes
If youd like, you can apply 1-2 more layers of sauce (remember to bake 5-10 minutes between each layer)
Once the sauce caramelizes and drumsticks turn to brown, the baking process is completed
It is time to serve!!

(!) For future reference, you can confidently serve all types of poultry meat with this sauce and seasonings!
