Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan and cook the shallot and garlic until soft. Add the beer and the remaining glaze ingredients and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
Arrange the chicken drums in a baking dish, large enough to hold the drums in one layer. Pour the cooled beer glaze over the chicken and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, basting occasionally.
In the meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the blue cheese dressing in a small bowl. Taste for seasoning and divide the sauce among six small ramekins.
To serve, divide the drums among six plates, drizzle with a little of the glaze and place a ramekin of blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping the chicken.
