Grilled chicken drumsticks, or drumettes, are a perfect finger food at parties and gatherings, served with some classic DennyMike's BBQ sauce, of course!

Ingredients

Chicken Drumsticks
DennyMikes Chick Magnet®
Canola Oil Spray
Optional, yellow mustard
DennyMike's BBQ Sauce for serving

Instructions

Prep as follows, either the night before or a couple of hours before cooking:

1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and the spray lightly with canola spray, all around,
2. Then sprinkle Chick Magnet generously, all over the meat, then spray again, (see spray, sprinkle and spray below) a little heavier to lock the seasoning on.
3. Cook any way you'd prefer, fried, sautéed, grilled, oven roasted, or smoked, but I always like mine cooked on my gas grill for the nice crispy skin, but they're wicked good in the smoker, too. Another trick is to, instead of canola spray, use a thin smear of yellow mustard, and season similarly.
4. Remember to always have your digital, instant read, thermometer handy; insert your thermometer into the thickest parts of the meat, (I poke in two spots...); you're looking for a finishing temperature of 165-170 degrees.

Bon appetite!  

Spray, sprinkle and spray

DennyMike's mantra when using any of his tasty seasoning blends is spray, sprinkle and spray, a technique that has served him well over the many years he has cooked with them (since 2000!). DennyMike uses canola spray for a couple of reasons; it's fat tree and flavor free, and it's got a higher smoking point than olive. And hey, we're all for olive oil but I prefer to use it in a less hostile environment!. So back to the mantra; always pat the meat or fish dry when necessary, and then spray a light coating of canola all over, sprinkle an even layer of seasoning and then spray again with another light coating to lock the seasoning. Once the first side has been cooked to your liking, flip, and spray sprinkle and spray the same as you did on the first side; finish to your desired temperature (using a quick read digital thermometer.) You can use canola spray in a can, which also is available in a high heat option for gas grill, Or get a manual sprayer/mister and buy your oil in a bottle.
