BBQ Chicken Drumsticks 🍗🔥
Ingredients:
2 kg (4.4 lbs) chicken drumsticks
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)
2 tbsp honey (for extra caramelization)
Instructions:
Pat drumsticks dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Coat the drumsticks evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Preheat grill to medium heat (350-400°F / 175-200°C).
Place drumsticks on the grill, turning every 5 minutes, for about 25-30 minutes until fully cooked (internal temp: 75°C/165°F).
Brush with BBQ sauce and grill for another 5 minutes, turning occasionally for a caramelized finish.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Arrange drumsticks on a lined baking tray and bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway.
Brush with BBQ sauce and broil for 5 minutes for a crispy glaze.
Let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with grilled corn, coleslaw, or potato wedges!
