I’ve been using this crispy grilled chicken drumsticks recipe for some time now. This is a basic recipe for a coating to grill your chicken in. It it very thin, but locks the juices in and helps the skin crisp up nicely. It also serves as a nice base to stick sauce to. Baste the drumsticks in your sauce of choice at the end of cooking, it will stick well. During poor weather, I use the same coating in the oven, just make sure to turn the chicken several times during cooking, so you won’t have dry spots.
Crispy Grilled Chicken Drumsticks Recipe:
Ingredients:
3 – 4 lbs. chicken drumsticks
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt free seasoning (ie. Mrs. Dash table blend)
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
Method:
- Whisk all dry ingredients together in a large deep lightweight bowl. (If you don’t have a bowl like this use what you have, and then pour it in a large plastic storage bag)
- Drop the drumsticks in one or two at a time. Toss until well coated. Press coating on in spots that don’t look like they got sufficient coating. (If using a bag shake, then press)
- Place chicken on preheated grill, turn down to low-med, and grill until you just start to see the meat pulling away from the bone in spots.
Serve the grilled chicken drumsticks as is, or with your favorite sauce.
Yum, looks delicious!
OOOH YUM!
That looks so yummy – my hubby made something similar for my sons bday and it was so good!
That sounds so yummy! My oldest LOVES drums, so I’ll have to try this for him.
baste with sauce After cooking it says ?? Sounds like you coat chicken with basically flour and then put on the grill ? That won’t cook right – it needs a sauce of some kind
Mmm I love drumsticks. I usually keep it simple, just some plain ol’ garlic salt. Definitely going to try this.
