7 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Pat dry the drumsticks. Trim off excess skin and any loose bones/tissue especially in the joint area.
  2. 2
    Now preheat grill to get a surface temp of about 450. That is medium high on a standard gas grill and medium on a hotter gas grill. Clean and oil.
  3. 3
    Mix spices. 1 T kosher salt, one t pepper and garlic powder and 1/2 t cayenne pepper.This is more than you need. Keep it for next time. You can also use my 7:2:2 spice mix. You may want to skip the cayenne if cooking for little ones. Or use seasoning of your choice.
  4. 4
    Lightly sprinkle chicken on all side to taste. Let rest at room temperature until grill is ready.
  5. 5
    Check grill temp if possible and place chicken on the grill.
  6. 6
    Flip every 5-7 minutes until internal temp of 185-190 degrees. About 30-35 minutes.
  7. 7
    Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. They are way too hot anyways.
