Recipe Introduction


NOTES: You can chop the garlic and ginger by dropping them into the blender while it is running before adding the remaining ingredients. I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs instead of drumsticks and they turned out great. I threw some veggies on the grill, too (zucchini, mushrooms, red bell pepper and sweet onions) and basted them with a citrus vinaigrette salad dressing. Best Foods has a Tangerine Basalmic dressing that I used. It was pretty good but I think I will add a few more herbs and some more basalmic vinegar to the dressing next time.

List of Ingredients




8 ounces crushed pineapple in juice
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
1 tablespoon fresh ginger root -- peeled and grated
1 clove garlic -- crushed
12 chicken drumsticks, no skin, R-T-C

Recipe



Place chicken in large zip lock bag, set aside.

In blender, puree pineapple with its juice and remaining ingredients except chicken until smooth. Pour about 3/4 cups of puree into a small bowl, set aside to use for basting. Pour remaining puree over chicken in bag, seal bag and turn to coat chicken pieces. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate. Remove chicken from bag and place on grill over medium heat. Discard marinade remaining in bag. Grill chicken until done, turning several times and basting with reserved puree.
