Ingredients
Scale
10 chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Start by rinsing your chicken drumsticks under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture generously over each drumstick.
Let the seasoned drumsticks marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, refrigerate them for a few hours or overnight.
Preheat your smoker to 250°F (about 121°C). Use wood chips like apple or hickory.
Place the drumsticks on the smoker grates, ensuring they’re spread out for even cooking. Smoke the chicken for about 90 minutes.
While the chicken is smoking, mix the BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan and warm it over low heat.
During the last 15 minutes of smoking, use a brush to apply the BBQ glaze liberally to each drumstick.
Once done, remove the drumsticks from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
Smoked chicken drumsticks with BBQ glaze are a game-changer in the world of grilling. This dish offers a healthy alternative to fried chicken and is packed with flavor.
