Chicken Drumsticks with Barbecue Sauce

Instructions

In the kitchen:

• Take the drumstick by the bone and pull down the skin.
• Use a knife to cut through the sinews around the bone.
• Chop off the skin and the joint with a pair of scissors or a knife.
• Now push up the chicken meat to make the drumsticks look like small lollies. Remove any meat residues from the bone with a cloth.
• Mix the spices for the rub thoroughly and roll the chicken lollies in it.

At the barbecue:

• Prepare the barbecue for indirect heat – approx. 160-180ºC. Place the ETC system on the grate and put on the expansion rack in the middle.
• Place the rubbed chicken lollies in the rack with the meat pointing up or you can use skewers. Close the lid and let them grill for about 15 minutes.
• Brush the lollies with BBQ sauce and continue to grill under lid for 15 minutes. Repeat this step twice.
• The lollies are done when they have reached a core temperature of 75-85ºC. They will have a nice reddish colour from the BBQ sauce.
