Some of you might know already that I contribute recipes to Gojee – a fabulously delicious site which collects recipes from around the web and makes them searchable by ingredient – beware, it’s pretty darned addictive!
From time to time, Gojee hosts events in New York City, gathering contributors together over, what else? Food and drinks! Last week they held the first annual Gojee Potluck which, sadly I was unable to attend. But, being Gojee, they thought of everything and alongside the “in real life” event, they are organising a virtual potluck which all us contributors who could not attend were invited to bring something to. I love it!
For this event, I tried to think of something that will taste great hot but equally great lukewarm, or cold. Because you know when you get to a potluck, there are always so many dishes you want to check out, there’s no guarantee that you will eat all the hot dishes before they are no longer at optimal temperature. What I am bringing to the virtual table today is a family favourite from a long way back – for whatever reason, called “Devilled” drumsticks and they are delicious hot, warm and even cold. Simple to prepare, very versatile in terms of being able to switch up a few of the ingredients to create a different flavour profile all together, these hit all the marks of a great potluck dish.
Easy chicken drumsticks - alittle sweet, a little spicy. Perfect hot, warm or even cold!Devilled drumsticks for the Gojee virtual pot luck
Ingredients
Instructions
I love these, have for a long time. Thought they were so exotic when I first had them. Mum – I still have your recipe from over 20 years ago, barely legible as it’s so faded. Now it’s on my site for everyone to enjoy 🙂 And so it doesn’t fade away!
These are so good – I actually prefer them the next day (if you can wait that long!!). A little bit sweet, a little bit spicy but most importantly, tasty and easy!
Want to see what everyone else bought to the party? Starting on Thursday, January 26, check out other potluck dishes fellow gojee contributors shared. Go to gojee.com and enter “gojee potluck” into I Crave. You can also follow #gojeepotluck on Twitter.
wow, looks deathly delicious, love the little part that burnt, would try it someday 🙂
cheers
Yes the little crispy burned parts are very tasty!
Looks divine!
Thank you so much!
Yes, these were cooked to perfection. Nice and juicy still inside, with perfect grilling on the outside.
Very tasty, a variation on a common “anytime” grilled drumsticks we often do in our house. I’d have upped the heat ever-so-slightly.
We paired this with a very nice 2011 vintage of…homemade pear cider! Courtesy of the fine establishment Fermentations in Toronto, where I’ve been brewing beers for over a year. This pear cider was decidedly dry, as I’m not a fan of the mainly sickly sweet ones found commercially. At about 5% ABV, a nice light pairing [sic] for the spice of the chicken.
These look amazing! My husband loves drumsticks and thighs and I know he’s going to love your Mom’s recipe. Thanks for sharing it Mardi.
It’s a wonderful recipe Paula – I hope you both enjoy it!
Oooh, could drumsticks look any better? I’m salivating already! Spicy and sticky, just my favorite 🙂
Yes they are a great combination!
These look amazing!! Your pictures are gorgeous!
Many thanks!
Those look lovely, particularly how you’ve plated them. This would be perfect Super Bowl party food.
Oh yes, that’s a great idea!
Those photos just jump off the page! Who knew chicken could look so good?
Thanks so much!
I wish there was a way to have these mouthwatering drumsticks jump from the scream to my desk. So I’ll just have to make some this weekend, can’t wait.
They are pretty darned tasty!
These look amazing and perfect for a potluck!
The perfect dish for a potluck!
Nice to see the great drumsticks making an international appearance. We still love them.
My fave 🙂
Great timing…….something to make with the “on special” drumsticks my mum bought for us a couple of days ago. Sounds much better than the slow cooker casserole I was going to invent!!!!
Oh yes Tami – you’d love these!
Those look very tasty, and the pictures are beautiful. I think I’d love them as per Mr. Neil’s suggestion, with a bit more heat and with homemade dry pear cider, but I have no one here making the beverage for me. Guess I’ll have to figure out my own pairing.
LOL! Beer goes great with these!
These look delish… Perfect football food, if you ask me. I know the men would love them 🙂
Oh yes!
Yum! Those drumsticks look scrumptious. I love the color. And great shots.
Thanks – they are pretty for chicken!
Oh yum, I haven’t had drumsticks in soo long.Those looks perfect, I doubt that I’d be able to wait till the next day to see if you are right about them tasting better 🙂
Ahem. Me neither!
I saw these at gojee and had to stop by — YUM. I’d have trouble waiting to eat these…
LOL they are pretty tasty!
I reckon I will prefer this the next day and cold! Always so good. 🙂
Instead of salivating about “pretty pictures”, has ANYONE COOKED AND EATEN ANY OF THESE DRUMS?? Yes, the photography is excellent, but HOW DO THEY TASTE??!!
I wouldn’t have posted them if they didn’t taste great 😉
Mr Neil (above) eats these quite regularly and Pam (above) is the person whose recipe it originally was. So yes, people have eaten them and they are good 🙂
Just made this, was so yummy and so juicy!!! But was not spicy at all. I did 25 shakes and could not taste any spicy at all. Defiantly will make this again but not use Tabasco sauce. Will do some other sauce instead.
Glad to hear you enjoyed this 🙂 Actually it’s not meant to be spicy so if that is something you are looking for you could absolutely substitute a spicier hot sauce for the Tabasco!
