   Roast uncovered in a 375-degree oven for 30-35 minutes (until mostly done).

   While the chicken is cooking, mince up your fresh habanero pepper.

7. 7

   Please, please be careful.

8. 8

   Use gloves if you can, fork and knife if gloves are not available.

   Habanero is not to be trifled with, but its oh so delish!

10. 10

    Add apricot preserves, water, and habanero to a small saucepan.

11. 11

    Simmer until its all incorporated and smooth and runny, like a good glaze should be.

12. 12

    When time is up on the chicken, pull it out of the oven and brush all over with the glaze.

13. 13

    Use every last bit of the stuff.

14. 14

    Pop the glazed drumsticks back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes until cooked through, when the meat starts to pull away from the bone.

    Enjoy!
