How To Make grilled chicken drummettes w/ ancho-cherry bbq sau

  • Step 1
    Combine all ingredients (except chicken) in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover, simmer until chilies and cherries are tender - about 20 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Working in batches, puree mixture in blender. Return sauce to pan. If necessary, simmer uncovered until sauce is reduced to 3 cups and thickens. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve some sauce to serve as a dipping sauce - the balance of the sauce will be used as a basting sauce.
  • Step 3
    Prepare grill (medium heat). Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill until just cooked through, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Brush sauce over; continue grilling until glazed, turning chicken and basting often with more sauce, about 5 minutes longer. Serve with remaining sauce.
