Ingredients
- (6 lbs.) Chicken Drumsticks
Directions
Ingredients:
- 12 chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Drumsticks: Place the chicken drumsticks in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the BBQ sauce mixture over the drumsticks. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium heat.
- Grill the Drumsticks: Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the drumsticks for about 25–30 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved BBQ sauce mixture during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Serve: Ensure the drumsticks are cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side and a classic coleslaw or corn on the cob.
