Chicken Drummettes with Sweet n’ Savory BBQ Sauce, @wholesisters
- 6 oz. tomato paste
- 1/4 cup organic balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup pear sauce*
- 1 cup organic chicken stock
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin, ground
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 shallots, minced
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Place 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet, add shallots and cook on med heat until translucent. Add garlic, cook one additional minute. Add smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook the spices for 3 minutes to release their flavors. Stir in tomato paste, organic balsamic vinegar, pear sauce, organic chicken stock, dijon mustard and salt. We purchased our pear sauce at our local health food store. Although you may substitute apple sauce for pear sauce. Turn stove down to a simmer and let cook down 30 minutes, stirring often. We like our BBQ sauce thick, but you may add more organic chicken stock for a runnier sauce. Barbecue the chicken drumettes, basting with Sweet n’ Savory Barbecue Sauce.
