Grilling Low Carb Sticky Asian Drummies

We don’t mind confessing to a wing addiction. Yep, we are wing hoes in the Fluffy camp and could eat them at least two nights per week—if it wasn’t for one teensy-weensy problem. Wings are frickin’ frackin’ chixen expensive! I blame the hipsters for this…or the red-necks. Whatevs, the popularity of chicken wings means they are no longer considered a sub-prime/waste cut of protein. Drat you Lex Luther!!!! You make our lives difficult!

 

Low Carb Sticky Asian Drummies Recipe

 

I’m sorry, but I refuse to pay more per pound for chicken wings than we currently pay for sale price, loss-leader steak. So it’s a rare occasion when the Fluffys actually get to procure and cook their own wings. And when we do, we ration them—only serving “x” amount per person and carefully planning the use of the IQF (individually quick frozen) chicken gold with cunning and forethought.

 

Low Carb Sticky Asian Wing Sauce

 

Thankfully alternatives exist for the savvy home economist (haha that’s code for “tightwad”). Chicken legs are not as fun to eat as wings, but cooked correctly yield moist and succulent “burnt offering options” for the wing gods.

 

Marinating Low Carb Sticky Asian Drummies

 

You can use any recipe for chicken legs that you would otherwise use on wings: BBQ Wings, Heroin Wings, Zombie Wings, and one of our all-time faves Sticky Asian Wings and when you’re using legs instead it becomes Sticky Asian Drummies.

At anywhere from $0.69/lb to $0.88/lb for a 3-pound family pack (about 10-12 wings depending on the level of gigantorness), chicken legs are cheap as chips, as our friends on the other side of the pond declare. You get between 2-3 ounces of meat per leg, which means a meal for a woman could be 2 drummies. The Fluffys buy the family pack of legs in order to get the best price—that’s usually about 10-12 drumsticks (legs), which means lots of lucky leftovers for us. We fall into the category of loving leftover cold chicken legs (even when they aren’t fried). It’s so convenient to throw 1 or 2 into a zip top back and into the lunch box with a bag of blue ice. Boom baby! Lunch. Done.

 

Basting Low Carb Sticky Asian Drummies

 

We even save money by growing herbs in pots on the back patio. We use them for handy/disposable basting brushes! Thyme and rosemary make great basting brushes.

 

Garlic Butter Finishing Sauce

 

Hope you’ll give these a try. Sticky Asian Drummies are finger lickin’ delicious and will make you a quick convert—stealing you away from our precious wings over to the dark side of life…because not only is it economical, but dark meat is more moist and succulent! And don’t spare the garlic butter finishing sauce! Mix it with a little of your “sterile” Sticky Asian Wing Sauce and it’s extra tasty!
