Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Rinse the chicken drumsticks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and honey. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the BBQ sauce cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the drumsticks on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. They should have a nice char on the outside.
Brush the drumsticks generously with the prepared BBQ sauce and cook for another 10-15 minutes, turning and basting them frequently until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the drumsticks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the drumsticks hot, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
