Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen Simmering molasses with balsamic vinegar and orange zest results in an incredibly dark, deeply spiced sauce—ideal for glazing chicken drumsticks and thighs cooked on the outdoor grill.

Ingredients

1/2 c. molasses
1/2 c. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. grated orange zest
4 each chicken drumsticks and thighs
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Mix molasses, vinegar and orange zest in a small bowl until blended. Pour 1 ⁄4 cup into a 1-gallon ziptop bag. Add chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a 1-qt saucepan, simmer remaining molasses mixture 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Grill chicken 20 minutes, turning with tongs as needed. Brush with some of the thickened molasses mixture; grill 5 minutes more or until instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 160 ºF. Serve chicken drizzled with remaining molasses mixture.
