Grilling Perfection: How Long to Grill Chicken Drumsticks for BBQ Bliss Introduction: A standard BBQ dish that always makes people happy is grilling chicken drumsticks. But it can be hard to get the right mix of juicy, delicious meat and crispy, burned skin. " How Long to Grill Chicken Drumsticks ?" is a question that people often ask when they want to cook chicken drumsticks. What is that question? This guide will answer it and give you all the information you need to grill chicken drumsticks to BBQ perfection. What Your Drumsticks Are: Before we get into the details of when to grill them, it's important to know what chicken drumsticks are. Chicken drumsticks are dark meat, which means they have more fat than white meat, like chicken breasts. The extra fat helps keep them soft and juicy while they're cooking on the grill. How to Get Ready: There are a few important things you need to do before you start grilling to make sure your drumsticks turn out perfectly. First, use paper towels to dry the drumsticks and get rid of any extra water. This will help the skin get crispy when you grill it. Next, use a lot of your favorite BBQ rub or marinate to season the drumsticks. Allow the paste to soak into the meat by letting the drumsticks sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. When and how hot to grill: ● The length of time it takes to grill chicken drumsticks depends on several things, such as the size of the drumsticks, the temperature of your grill, and whether you're using direct or indirect heat. As a general rule, grill chicken drumsticks for 30 to 40 minutes, making sure to turn them over every so often to make sure they cook evenly. ● For gas grills, heat them up to 375 to 400°F, which is medium-high. Place the drumsticks on the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes on each side, or until the chicken hits 165°F on the inside. ● For charcoal stoves, stack the charcoal on one side of the grill to make a two-zone fire. While the coals are still hot, move the drumsticks to the cooler side of the grill and cover
them with the lid. Turn the meat over every so often for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature hits 165°F. Testing for Doneness: Using a meat thermometer is the best way to be sure that your drumsticks are cooked all the way through. Make sure not to touch the bone as you put the thermometer into the largest part of the drumstick. The temperature inside should be 165°F. You can also cut into the middle part of the drumstick to see if it's done if you don't have a meat thermometer. The meat should be completely white, with no pink spots. Resting and Serving: After the drumsticks are cooked through, take them off the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Then serve them. So, the juices can be spread out again, ensuring every bite is juicy and full of taste. Put your favorite BBQ sauce on your cooked chicken drumsticks and enjoy! In The End: If you know what you're doing, grilling chicken drumsticks is a fun and tasty activity that you can easily get good at. If you follow these tips and directions, you'll be well on your way to cooking chicken drumsticks every time. Get your best drumsticks ready, and get ready for a feast that will blow everyone away!
