Molasses Chicken With Soy Sauce

This recipe comes from my diabetes website and I just love it. I thought my readers may enjoy it also. So here it s just for you. I did not use the broiler on my stove but I did this recipe on the grill with great results.






This Recipe Serves 4

Ingredients


1/4 cup light soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
8 chicken drum sticks, skin removed, rinsed, and patted dry
2 tablespoons molasses

Instructions

1.Stir the soy sauce and lime juice together in a small bowl until well blended.
2.Place the drumsticks in a large zippered plastic bag. Add 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce mixture to the bag. Seal tightly and shake back and forth to coat chicken evenly. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
3.Add the molasses to the remaining soy sauce mixture, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed.
4.Preheat the broiler. Lightly coat the broiler rack and pan with nonstick cooking spray, place the drumsticks on the rack, and discard any marinade in the bag. Broil 6 inches away from the heat source for 25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or until the drumsticks are no longer pink in the center.
5.Place the drumsticks in a large bowl. Stir the reserved soy sauce mixture and pour it over the drumsticks. Toss the drumsticks gently to coat evenly and let them stand 3 minutes to develop flavors.

It has been a long time since my last post in this blog. I need to apologise for that. I was working 2 jobs outside the home and my travel business at home. Since then I have retired from my outside jobs. I just work at home now as a cruise specialist for a large well known travel agency. I do find myself with more time so I am going to post more cooking articles. I have noted in the news that diabetes has become epidemic. I too am diabetic. I will be posting a lot of recipes that are diabetes friendly. I hope you will all follow this blog and enjoy some of the recipes.
