Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, a little more for brushing
• 2 shallots minced
• 2 tablespoons garlic minced
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 cup Missouri Chambourcin
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 12 chicken drumsticks, thighs or both

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. In a medium saucepan, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the shallots and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. 

3. Whisk in the ketchup, wine, sugar, chipotle and mustard. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat, then simmer over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes. 

4. Let cool slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil and put a baking rack on it. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and put on the rack. 

6. Roast for 15 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned. 

7. Brush the chicken with some of the sauce and roast for 40 minutes longer, turning and basting every 10 minutes, until nicely glazed and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest piece registers 165°F. 

8. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Every year we are reminded of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces. Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment of those who have worn the uniform. It’s a moment to express our deepest gratitude for this service and to honor their contributions to our freedom and security. 

Veterans come from all walks of life, united by a common thread of selflessness and patriotism. They have stood on the front lines, often in the face of unimaginable challenges, to protect the values we hold dear. Whether they served in times of war or peace, their efforts have shaped the course of history and ensured the safety of future generations. Their sacrifices extend beyond the battlefield, impacting families and communities in profound ways. 

As we thank our veterans, it’s important to remember that our gratitude should extend beyond a single day.
