- 1 cup bottled chili sauce
- 1/4 cup dark (robust) molasses
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
- Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and generous amount of pepper. Grill drumsticks 12 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Meanwhile, stir chili powder and cumin in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in chili sauce, molasses, cider vinegar, orange juice, orange peel. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 6 minutes.
