Here's how to grill a
better drumstick.Go skinless
Chicken skin can burn
over direct heat and
cause flare-ups, so buy
drumsticks skinless or
pull off the skin yourself.
If you really want the skin,
grill the chicken over
indirect heat; just note
it will take a little longer......................•.••••
Marinate
the meat
Drumsticks don't need
much more than a simple
marinade. You can prep them
in t he morning and they'll be
ready to cook by dinnertime.
Massage the marinade
into the chicken to help the
flavors penetrat e t he meat.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••Cover the grill
Putting the cover down
traps t he heat and makes
your grill act like an oven,
which is key for bone-in
meat. You want the heat
to surround the meat and
cook it all the way through.
