On sale this week at our local food co-op……chicken breast & drummies as well as pork ribs. All three pair well with BBQ sauce. There isn’t a BBQ sauce out there that isn’t loaded with sugar, so yesterday, I made my own.

BBQ Chicken Drummies
Drummies are easy to make……to make clean-up easy, foil line your pan. Bake at 425 for a total of 60 minutes. After the drummies have been baking for 30 minutes, you will start the basting process, every 10 minutes baste and bake. Take drummies out of oven, baste with BBQ sauce and return to oven to bake for 10 minutes. Do this three times.
