Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté one chopped sweet onion until it turns tender and translucent, about 4-6 minutes.
- Add in one minced garlic clove and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 cup of chopped rhubarb, 1 cup ketchup, ½ cup water, ⅓ cup apricot preserves, ¼ cup cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 tablespoon honey Dijon mustard, a diced chipotle pepper, and 1 teaspoon barbecue seasoning.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and let it simmer until the rhubarb softens, approximately 8-10 minutes. Blend the sauce for a smooth consistency and set aside 2 cups for serving.
- Mix the remaining barbecue seasoning (about 2 tablespoons) with salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Rub this seasoning mixture all over 2 pounds of chicken drumsticks.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly grease the grill rack. Place seasoned chicken over indirect heat and grill for about 15 minutes.
- Flip the chicken drumsticks to cook evenly, and continue grilling for another 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 170°-175°F.
- During the last few minutes, baste the chicken with the reserved Rhubarb-Apricot sauce.
- Once grilled, transfer chicken to a serving platter and generously drizzle with the reserved sauce.

Notes
Ensure chicken doneness with a meat thermometer; reserve sauce before marinating to avoid cross-contamination.
