Chicken Drumstick Grilling Tips:

  • To prepare the grill, add coals or turn on the gas according to manufacturer’s directions.
  • After the coals are heated or the grill is up to temperature, scrape the grill rack to clean, then oil using oiled paper towels.
  • Shake excess marinade off the chicken and place on the grill. Don’t move the chicken until it lifts easily from the rack.
  • When the chicken has cooked on both sides, keep it moving. You can move to cooler areas of the grill as it cooks.
