Instructions
Preparation
- Take the chicken drumsticks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
Grilling
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the drumsticks on the grill away from direct flames and cook for about 20 minutes, rotating every few minutes.
- In the last 10 minutes, begin brushing on BBQ sauce, turning frequently until the chicken is coated and crispy.
- Check the internal temperature; it should reach 165°F in the thickest part of the drumstick.
- Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, don't add BBQ sauce too early to prevent burning. Flip the drumsticks several times for even cooking. Rest the chicken before serving to keep it juicy.
