Recipe Tips

• High Smoke Point Oil – Any oil with a high smoke point will work for this recipe.  We love using avocado oil or coconut oil for this recipe. 
• Blackstone Dome – If you do not have a dome, you can cook the drumsticks with the lid closed on medium high to finish cooking the drumsticks.

How to Know when Drumsticks are done

Chicken drumsticks is a great cut of chicken and are move flavorful than chicken breast. The skin is cooked until it reaches a golden, crispy outside texture. But the inside may not be cooked.

To make sure you chicken drumsticks are done, use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken drumsticks are cooked to a safe temperature before eating. 

Chicken just needs to be cooked to 165 degrees F but we prefer to cook drumsticks longer to prevent any residual blood around the bones in the drumsticks.
