Black Cherry Drumsticks

Black Cherry Drumsticks

Black Cherry Drumsticks combine juicy chicken with a sweet and tangy black cherry glaze, creating a deliciously unique dish perfect for dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup black cherry preserves
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together black cherry preserves, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
  3. Season the drumsticks with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the drumsticks on all sides.
  5. Place browned drumsticks in a baking dish and brush generously with the black cherry glaze.
  6. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, basting with more glaze halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and glaze is caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, try grilling the drumsticks instead of baking, and serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
