Chicken drumsticks

Zmokin

I'm going to cook 4 drumsticks on the BGE for dinner tonight.

I'm wondering what my fellow forum members would recommend in the way of cooking these.

smoke or no smoke wood?  which wood would you recommend?

marinade or dry rub or sauce near the end?

any other ideas are also welcome

I plan to serve these with Kraft Mac'n'Cheese and blanched broccoli with an Asian dipping sauce for the broccoli, if that has any bearing on your recommendation on how to cook and season the drumsticks.

You could marinade them with soy sauce, pepper, minced garlic and onion, maybe add a little chili flakes if you like some heat. Cook indirect at 375 for about 45 minutes until done and all the fat rendered and the skin done. If you're feeling fancy switch the egg to direct and crisp them up, maybe baste with a little sauce.

No smoke wood. Dry them up with a paper towel and apply a dry rub. Cook them indirect and you will have crispy skin. I usually cook mine in a leg hanger.

After the marinade, I rubbed the drumsticks with an oil & spice mix.  The drumsticks came out good, sorry, forgot to take pics.  The rice not so well.  It seems the rice cooker didn't do well with coconut milk & water mix, and even though my wife likes yellow curry at Thai restaurants, all she could do was complain about the smell of curry in the house afterwards.  So I solved that problem in the future, threw away my curry.

I always cook 400 Direct & Raised to 180. Smoke is not your friend in chicken/turkey so just one small hand full mixed cherry/pecan chips. I like a dry rub of coffee rub or Bad Byron's Butt Rub. Half the time I will add a BBQ sauce the last 15 mins of a 50/50 mix (see below). All the is the same for turkey legs and wings.
