Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • In a large bowl, toss the chicken drumsticks with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

  • Place the drumsticks on the grill and cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, brush the drumsticks with BBQ sauce.

Serving

  • Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve the Grilled BBQ Chicken Drumsticks hot off the grill. You can add extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. A simple salad or corn on the cob makes great side dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Preheat the grill well for optimal charring and ensure to let the chicken rest after grilling.
