Chicken drumsticks stay deliciously moist when grilled—even with the skin removed. Minty sweet-and-sour dipping sauce adds a refreshing twist to "ordinary" grilled chicken. Make it a meal: Serve with brown rice and slices of fresh pineapple.

| Ease of Prep: | Easy |
| Recipe Ingredients | |
| 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest | |
| 1/4 cup orange juice | |
| 1/4 cup water | |
| 3 tablespoons honey | |
| 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cider vinegar , divided | |
| 1/2 teaspoon salt , divided | |
| 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander | |
| 1 teaspoon cornstarch | |
| 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint | |
| 8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds), skin removed, trimmed | |
| 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper | |
Recipe Directions
- Preheat grill to medium. (No grill? See Broiler Variation, below.)
- To prepare dipping sauce, combine orange zest, orange juice, water, honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and coriander in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk cornstarch and the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. Add to the saucepan and return to a boil, whisking until thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in mint.
- Sprinkle drumsticks with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the drumsticks until crispy on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total. Serve the drumsticks with the dipping sauce on the side. Broiler variation: Position oven rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat broiler to high. Prepare sauce (Step 2). Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and pepper (Step 3), then broil, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total.
To oil the grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Don't use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

Disney never offers special discounts. they don need to. If you are a member. consider buying them from Triple AAA which sells tickets a little cheaper then the door price. A Florida resident would save $9 on a 1 day pass. They also sell tickets for your other Orlando parks.Portabilite le portage le transfert de numero de telephone le code RIO ou meme Releve d'Identite operateur peut avoir pu des noms differents. http://www.releve-identite-operateur.fr
