BBQ Chicken Drumsticks 

August 19, 2015 By Shanell Leave a Comment

Grilled Chicken Rub These might just be the yummiest chicken legs I’ve ever tasted, and they are sooo easy to make too!

I’ve never really been a drumstick girl to tell you the truth, the bones kind of weird me out. My husband makes fun of me every time I try and eat chicken wings, my hands get so messy as I try and remove the meat from the bone with my fingers. Haha. BUT ever since I made these the other day I’ve been wanting them more and more. They are so simple and fast to prepare. I NEVER want BBQ season to end! Why does summer always seem to go soo fast?!

Here’s what you do. Buy some drumsticks. I bought fresh drumsticks, however I’m sure frozen would work too, you would just have to thaw them out beforehand. Turn the grill on to high heat and let it warm up. While the grill is warming, rinse with water, then dry off each drumstick with a paper towel or napkin and set aside.

  Next sprinkle (sorry there’s not really an exact measurement of each spice. Just use your best judgment.) on some:

Cumin

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

Paprika

Kosher Salt

Fresh Black Pepper

Sprinkle evenly on both sides.

 Right before setting them on the grill go ahead and drizzle some olive oil over the top to prevent them from sticking.

To Grill: Place chicken over high heat for 2 minutes, flip to the other side for 2 minutes, move to the top rack (or away from direct heat), then turn the heat down to medium and let the chicken cook for another 20 minutes. Now you have room to cook the rest of your BBQ veggies! After 20 minutes remove them from the grill and eat em’ up!

We paired ours with a plate of carrots and celery. The perfect, quick and easy side!

Hi, I’m Shanell!

Hi, I'm Shanell!
As a wife and a busy mom of 3, I believe in real life: busy days, messy hair, dirty dishes and sticky fingers. I also believe life can be a 'real' blessing if we take time to enjoy it. I find that I enjoy it most when I make 'real' food, workout 'real' hard, and study 'real' truth. So, this is me, trying to be Shanell, for real.
