Brown Sugar BBQ Drumettes

by Sweet Tea & Taters on February 27, 2012

Well hi there and happy Monday morning to you all!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  Did you watch the Oscars?  I have to say, I don’t see a lot of movies but I like to watch the award shows to see what everyone is wearing and what their makeup looks like.  My favorite?  Sandra Bullock.  I love love love her and she always looks stunning.

Anyway, I just love to watch those actresses pour themselves into those skin tight dresses wondering how many hours they put into the gym in the past month and how the heck they go to the bathroom in those outfits!  All the while, I sit on the couch in my pjs, chowing down on some delicious snacks.
This years Best Snack Oscar goes to….

Brown Sugar BBQ chicken drumettes!  Oh they are so delicious and they are baked, not fried!  For some reason the smell of hot wing sauce makes me want to hurl.  For realsies.  These drumettes are tossed in a tangy and sweet bbq sauce and go great with some baked potato skins and a beer (or in my case, a caffeine free Diet Dr. Pepper).

Notes

Chicken drumettes are actually part of the chicken wing — just the right size for kids to nibble on. To store, refrigerate, up to 2 weeks.

These look great! Have you thought of adding a little liquid smoke to the ingredients? Might be a good twist.
