Story

By the middle of the summer months, we run out of ideas for grilling. That's when we pull out all the stops with marinades. These chicken drumsticks are a good way to kick up the interest in grilling a notch or two. We can only eat barbecue sauce for so long before we've got to have a change.

You may want to try grilling chicken thighs instead of legs to save a little money. Thighs are an inexpensive alternative, nutritious, and delicious. Anything you choose, this is a fabulous marinade to use.
