Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 tsp orange ( zest), freshly grated
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp cider vinegar , plus
1 tsp cider vinegar, divided
1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
404 g (8 pieces) chicken drumsticks, net from 2 lb fresh, skin removed, trimmed, cooked
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium.
To prepare dipping sauce, combine orange zest, orange juice, water, honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and coriander in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk cornstarch and the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. Add to the saucepan and return to a boil, whisking until thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in mint.
Sprinkle drumsticks with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the drumsticks until crispy on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total. Serve the drumsticks with the dipping sauce on the side.
Broiler variation: Position oven rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat broiler to high. Prepare sauce (Step 2). Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and pepper (Step 3), then broil, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total.
Tip: To oil the grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Donâ??t use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
