3 Kinds of Drums

[AcrossFromHoss]

picked up a pack of chicken drumsticks and wanted to try a few different rubs for the first time on chicken (Club House habanero & roasted garlic and SixZeroFour's rub) as well as some jerk because I have a slight obsession with jerk chicken   I pulled the skin down to season and they sat with the rub on for 3 hours. used oak and pecan chunks. lid temp was 425 for most of the cook then i added half a chimney to crisp the skin at 450-460.

crispy skin, dripping with juices and pink from the outside in.

picked up a bottle of this at costco the other day. had a little on the side to keep things festive. It's good but for my taste it needs a little doctoring. I'll be adding diced apple, salt, pepper and a dash of cinnamon to it for with the Christmas turkey.

Big thanks to SixZeroFour for the rub sample. I've now had it on wings, drums, pork chops, stuffed peppers and bacon wrapped hotdogs. Still need to get it on ribs and a small butt.

Looks great- I prefer drums or thighs over white meat any day!
