Mexican Co-Cola Drumsticks

Since Mexican-made Coca-Colas have gained a cult following, varied myths have sprung up around the south-of-the-border beverage—everything from the notion that it actually contains cocaine (I would think it would be more expensive if it did) to the rumor that only two people have the top-secret formula for Mexican Coke. I know I like it—and kosher Coca-Cola, too. I suppose it’s simply because of the cane sugar used in the recipe instead of the now-standard corn syrup. These drumsticks are ridiculously sticky and messy to eat. Corral any children after dinner to wash their hands, and inspect them well before you turn them loose in the house or fingerprints will be found all about.

Cooks' Note

This is a completely redneck takeoff on the soy sauce drumsticks at the Red Lantern restaurant in Sydney, Australia.
