Bone suckin’ good!

OMG this stuff is AMAZING. A massive thanks to Black Pearl Epicure who invited me to trial a new product (new to them that is!) and if I liked it, would I blog it. LIKE it – I LOVE it!

IT is an American product called Bone Suckin’ Sauce. Now, I hear what you are saying. It’s American. It will be full of ghastly high fructose corn syrup {a scourge of waaaay too many foods}. Well, no, it’s not! I know! Quel surprise! {oops wrong country. Really meant to say “holy smokes Batman!”}.

AND there are no preservatives and it is gluten free. Win all around.

There are loads of ways you could use this sauce – I kept it simple, and just used it to marinate some chicken drumsticks, so I could get the full and unadulterated flavour. Sooo simple. The 10yo stepson {readers will be aware of his pickiness when it comes to so many foods} LOVED it. And has requested it again and again.

So, what I did was this:

I scored {actually, I forgot, but you should score} the chicken drumsticks, placed them in a bowl, then added about 1/3 jar of the sauce. Rub the sauce over the chicken pieces making sure the sauce gets into the scored bits.

Cover the bowl and pop it into the fridge for 3-4 hours {I didn’t actually do this bit either – it was Friday night, we were hungry, it was getting late, I was a bit disorganised – we’ve all been there!}.

Preheat your oven to 180c, then pop the chicken pieces onto a baking tray. Bake in the oven for about 45-60 minutes, turning the drumsticks every 15 minutes or so.

You can see here there are only 7 drumsticks. That was perhaps my biggest mistake with this dish. I should have cooked 70. Or at least 17. They were bone suckin’ly good.

I served them with roast potato pieces and a simple salad. Delicious.

There is also a hot version of the Bone Suckin’ Sauce. We haven’t tried that yet – will do so soon. I’ve also made this using chicken thigh fillets that I cooked on the BBQ instead of in the oven. They took about 15 minutes on the BBQ.
