RTEGH,[p]I have found it is better to cook drumsticks and thighs slowly. I would recommend 325 degrees direct heat for an hour, flipping every 15 minutes.[p]I like to remove the skin and marinate overnight. I have used hot sauce and garlic, mojo criollo, and chili-lime marinade. Use whatever you like. Italian dressing works, too. Or just salt & pepper.[p]If you leave the skin on, there are some recipes using dry spices and flour/corn starch to obtain oven-fried crispy type skin.[p]-Kevin

<p />RTEGH,[p]One of my favorite cooks for both drumsticks and thighs is at 250° on a raised grate. The cook with these low temps will take at least 2 hours and you can stretch it to 3 hours if you want to. I've been hooked on using these racks for drumsticks or wings. With the grate in the regular position, you can get two racks on and cook 24 at once. On a raised grate only one rack will fit.[p][p]Here is a link to a brief how-to I put together.[p]~thirdeye~

thirdeye, can you tell me where to find a rack like this? I have seen this on a couple of posts for legs and wings but I can't seem to find where to get it.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
