My favorite food on the grill is chicken drumsticks! I make a sweet heat barbecue beer sauce to slop onto it after the cook. But I got my tecnique DOWN and I'll pass it along here. I use any square grill with a lid.
-Light up one very full charcoal chimney and spread it across the back half of the grill. We're cooking indirect.
-Toss your drumsticks in olive oil, salt and pepper. Place them dorectly over the coals to get a good sear. Flip every 5 minutes until thr skin looks a little crisp.
-As each drumstick completes the sear, place it to the front of the grill away from the coals. Once you have all you chicken up front, close the lid and set a timer for 20 minutes.
-After 20 minutes, sauce, flip and sauce the other side. Close the lid for another 20 minutes.
-Optional-
You can sauce each side again and place the directly over the coals flipping them around for another 5 minutes to tighten up the sauce and get a crispy outer layer.
-PLATE IT UP! Juicy and crispy in every bite!

They look great.. Love chicken legs and leg quarters too.
These look amazing!
Thanks for the details! Enjoy! .. curious how the skin holds up to the saucing. I’m a crispy skin fan and I worry it would soften it, and typically opt for dipping sauces.
