- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 turkey drumsticks, without thighs (about 4 pounds)

- 1 1/2 -inches fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 3/4 cup rice vinegar

- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 4 teaspoons Asian chili sauce, such as Sriracha
- 4 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced

- Smear the spices all over the drumsticks.
- Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

- Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-hot fire on one side of the grill for both direct and indirect cooking.
- Position a drip pan under the grate on the cool side.
- Toss 1/2 cup soaked wood chips onto the coals.

- Lay the turkey legs on the grate over the drip pan.

- Set aside about half the sauce for serving.
- After about 1 hour, mop the turkey drumsticks with some of the mop and flip.
- Mop and flip every 10 minutes or so until the legs are browned and glazed and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers about 170 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes more.
- Serve the drumsticks with the reserved mop on the side.
