Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F). If you’re using an oven, preheat to 375°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 6
Place the chicken drumsticks on the grill and close the lid. Grill for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. If baking, place the chicken in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 7
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing the BBQ sauce and honey in a small bowl.
Step 8
Once the chicken has cooked for 20 minutes on the grill (or 25-30 minutes in the oven), brush the BBQ glaze generously over each piece.
Step 9
Continue cooking the chicken for another 10-15 minutes, flipping and basting with more glaze every 5 minutes. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the skin is caramelized and slightly charred.
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side and enjoy!
