Hey Amy!

Kids are always a challenge for me at big BBQ events.  I am doing all I can to make the experience fun and delightful while offering the best food I could possibly prepare.  Children are usually running around, playing, laughing and the last thing they want to do is sit to eat.  Parents do their best to encourage that behavior but let’s face it, if the other kids are still playing, eating is not on the agenda.  I try to think of foods that will be easy for kids to eat, enjoy, and get great nutrition.  One of these dishes is chicken legs.

Ingredients:

8 drumsticks
1/2 c. honey
4 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
4 Tbsp. whole grain mustard
4 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. corn oil
salt and pepper

Take drumsticks and make 3 diagonal slashes in the fattest part of the meat.  Place in large baking dish.

Mix all ingredients together.  Pour glaze over drumsticks, turning until the drumsticks are well coated.  Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour (if you have the space inside your frig, let it marinate overnight).

Remove the drumsticks from marinade and keep marinade.  Grill the chicken, turning frequently and brushing with the reserved marinade for 25 minutes.  Serve immediately.

Don’t forget the kids when you plan your gathering.  The parents will appreciate the extra effort and the kids, well, their laughter will tell you how happy they are.  Enjoy!
