A simple and flavorful BBQ grilled chicken drumsticks recipe, perfect for backyard BBQs and summer dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
  2. Pat the chicken drumsticks dry and place them in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Toss well to coat.
  4. Grill the drumsticks for 25 to 30 minutes, turning every 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken is nearly cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce with honey.
  6. Brush the drumsticks generously with the BBQ sauce mixture during the last 5 to 8 minutes of grilling, turning and brushing a few times until sticky and caramelized.
  7. Remove from the grill once the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
  • Resting the chicken before serving keeps it juicy.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
