    These smoke chicken drumsticks are so versatile and easy! Just for beginners Bbq I like to use mesquite pellets or other fruit woods, but maple is also a great choice. Use your favorite BBQ rub.

    I'm new to pellet grills and found this video after going to a BBQ through down and one of the contestants advised to start off with some sort of dark meat like chicken legs. Followed your instructions, but used Sweet Baby Ray's instead as that's what I had on hand. Turned out great! I haven't seen anyone else using corn starch but can't imagine not using it. Great recipe and great video bro!

      @germangarcia222 11 днів тому

      Smart, not that many know to get smoke on a pellet you have to keep it low or on your smoke setting. Smoking this chicken fully would’ve taken more than the hour 15 he took. Still, making food like this is quick and a better tasting chicken than grilled or oven! Your thoughts?
