Grilled Garlic Breadsticks With Sweet And Zesty Sauce Recipes

SWEET AND STICKY GRILLED DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Bring wine, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan.
• Reduce heat, and simmer until mixture has thickened to the consistency of honey, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Let cool.
• Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes through the skin and flesh on both sides of each drumstick (this will help the flavors permeate the meat).
• Preheat grill to medium-low. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 7 seconds.)
• Place drumsticks on grill, and brush with sauce.
• Close cover, and grill 4 minutes.
• Flip chicken, and brush with sauce.
• Continue to cook, flipping and brushing with sauce every 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through, about 20 minutes total.
• Season with salt.

SWEET AND SPICY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir the vinegar and sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, 7 to 10 minutes; add the salt, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir the chili garlic sauce into the mixture. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

GRILLED GARLIC BREADSTICKS WITH SWEET AND ZESTY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into large rectangles. Use a pizza wheel or knife to cut dough into long strips, then cut each strip in to roughly 5-inch lengths. Set aside.
• In a wide shallow bowl, mix 1/2 tablespoons of the salt, garlic powder, pepper and onion powder.
• Place butter in a second wide shallow bowl.
• One or two at a time, place strips of dough in butter and turn to coat evenly.
• Shake off any excess butter, then lightly dredge strips through seasoning mix to coat. Set side.
• In a blender, combine diced tomatoes, (with any juice in the can), remaining salt, garlic cloves, honey, balsamic vinegar, oregano, thyme and hot sauce. Purée until smooth, then transfer to a small saucepan and heat over low.
• While sauce heats, arange dough strips on hot grill, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover and grill for 1-2 minutes or until the strips are puffed and lightly browned on the bottoms. Flip and grill, covered, for another minute. Serve breadsticks with dipping sauce.
