Smoked Drumsticks for the first time. With Qview.

[brgbassmaster]

Dont do chicken very often but when i do I'm always amazed at how good it is smoked on some apple and cherry wood. Smoked at around 275-290 the whole time. Injected with garlic butter and rubbed with a salty/spicy rub. Loved them.

Chicken drummies are ALWAYS a great meal!!!

Yup going to do some more soon. But going to add some sugar in the rub this time i like sweet with heat.

Try marinating with blood orange juice.....or regular and add some ginger and garlic. I also add a bit of sesame oil as well. Yummy sweet flavor. Watch how much sugar cause it tends to burn and get bitter.

Great chicken!

What I would suggest, if you love the heat and sweetness, is the glaze based on apricots preserves, with chili powder for an extra kick. Check it out here: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/158472/smoked-chicken-quarters-with-hot-sweet-apricot-glaze
