This Hot and Sweet Chicken is so simple and full of sweet flavor. You can make it as hot or as mild as you'd like. This definitely became a new family favorite at our house this week.
In a small saucepan, combine preserves, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic and hot pepper sauce. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until preserves are melted.
Arrange chicken in a single layer on a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Pour sauce over drumsticks, turning to coat. Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until chicken is done, spooning sauce over drumsticks while baking. Serves 6.
Notes
If you are looking to add more heat to this recipe, you could add a few chopped jalapeños, add red pepper flakes, or add more hot pepper sauce.
