Sticky Chicken Drumsticks

Make these while you’re cooking dinner, then send the drumsticks to school in a microwave-safe container with an ice pack—they’re delicious cold or hot.

 

Serves:  6 (2 drumsticks per serving)
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients
2/3 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1-2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
12 chicken drumsticks

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix preserves, vinegar and mustard in a small saucepan. Heat and stir until the preserves melt into the vinegar. This will only take a couple of minutes, and don’t worry about the lumps left from the fruit. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil and oil lightly (don’t skip this step or you’ll be cursing me at clean-up time). Place drumsticks on prepared sheet, season with salt and pepper and coat with the apricot mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Either serve hot, or cool and refrigerate for later use.
