Classic BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
- 12 whole Chicken Drumsticks
- 18 cups Your Favorite BBQ Seasoning
- 18 cups Old Bay Seasoning (available In Most Grocery Stores)
- 1 bottle (18 Oz) KC Masterpiece Original BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup Grape Jelly
- 2 Tablespoons Your Favorite Hot Sauce (I Typically Use Trappey's Or Louisiana Brand)
- Mix the BBQ seasoning and Old Bay in a small bowl.
- Lay the drumsticks on a large sheet pan.
- Season all sides of each drumstick with a moderate sprinkling of the seasoning mixture.
- Put all of the chicken in a large zip-top bag and seal, removing the excess air.
- Refrigerate the chicken at least six hours, but preferably overnight.
- Start your fire and prepare for indirect cooking at 325 degrees F.
- Add two small chunks of fruit wood (apple or cherry) and one small chunk of hickory to the fire about 10 minutes before youre ready to cook.
- Wood chips soaked for 30 to 60 minutes will work well, too.
- If youre using a gas grill, make a smoker pouch.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat until it reaches 170 degrees F internal temperature, about an hour.
- While the chicken is cooking, melt the jelly in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
- Add the BBQ sauce and hot sauce, whisk to combine, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Dunk each drumstick in the sauce, return to the cooker, and continue cooking over indirect heat for another 20 minutes, turning at 10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the grill to a large serving platter, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve with the remaining sauce and enjoy!
