Since preparing a Thanksgiving feast on a barbecue isn’t traditional, why finish it up with the usual pumpkin pie? This layered dessert from Nancy Gerlach is unique in that it can be cooked on the grill like the rest of the meal. The finished dessert has a cake-like topping and a chocolate syrup which can be served with whip cream on top. Place it on the grill while you are indulging with your turkey, and it will be ready to serve at the end of the meal.
Howlin’ Hollar Hot Legs Chicken Drumsticks
Howlin’ Hollar is a sweet heat whose fire kicks in shortly after the sweet. Read Mark Masker’s article about making these spicy drumsticks on the Burn! Blog here.
Ingredients
1 bottle Sizzlin’ Sauces Howlin Hollar Hot Sauce with Pumpkin
6-12 chicken drumsticks
Sea Salt
Fresh crushed black pepper
Instructions
While your grill heats up to 350 degrees F., remove the skin and veins from the drumsticks. Once that’s done and the grill is hot enough, salt and pepper the chicken to taste and place it on the grill for indirect cooking. Close the lid.
Ten to fifteen minutes later, check on the birdies. Pour a little of the sauce on each piece and use a grill brush to spread it evenly over each piece. Flip the chicken, close the lid, and wait eight more minutes. Then pour a little sauce on each piece and spread it to cover this half. Close the lid again, wait two to five more minutes before removing the drummies from the grill.
At this point, I let the drumsticks rest then brushed a little more sauce into the gaps and thin points I missed during grilling.
Brazilian-Style Rice
Brazilian rice is one of the staples of a Brazilian dinner and the holidays are no different. Brazilians most often make use of long grain rice, and the shelled pumpkin seeds give it the holiday zest that it needs while the kale (as well as the rice) is sautéed in garlic to add a touch of flavor. A touch of hot sauce adds zest to this side dish.
