Ingredients
- 8 pc Chicken drumsticks
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 tsp Chili flakes
- 150 g Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Mustard, medium hot
Method
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry, lightly score the underside and brush them with olive oil.
- Mix the paprika powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and chili flakes and rub the drumsticks with the mixture all over.
- Stir together the ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar and mustard in a small saucepan and let it reduce over medium heat for 5 minutes until the sauce is slightly thick.
- Prepare the grill for indirect heat: turn off one side of the grill or arrange the coals on one side only, and close the lid.
- Place the drumsticks skin side up on the cool side and cook for about 35 to 40 minutes until the core temperature reaches 75 °C.
- During the last 10 minutes, move the drumsticks over direct heat and brush them several times with the BBQ sauce until the skin caramelizes and becomes glossy.
- Take the drumsticks off the grill, let them rest for 5 minutes and serve with the remaining sauce.
