Ingredients

12 drumsticks

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp smoked paprika (sub regular paprika)

2 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp potato starch (sub corn starch)

2 tbsp cooking oil

For the Sauce

½ stick unsalted butter

¼ cup agave syrup

2 garlic cloves minced

¼ wing sauce

Directions

Step 1

Prep your chicken drumsticks by cutting right under the bottom of the drumstick where the meat ends with a sharp knife, use a paper towel to pull the skin up and over the knuckle, season your chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and corn starch.

Step 2

Add cooking oil and coat the chicken well

Step 3

Preheat your grill at 350 degrees and place your chicken opposite of the heat, create 2 cooking zones on your grill. Cook your chicken until 165 internal temperature. When this happens, sear your chicken for about 15 seconds per side to give it a nice char, then toss in that delicious sauce.

Step 4

For the Sauce

Notes

I served the chicken along with size carrots and celery with ranch. These lollipops fly off the table, make plenty!
