Grilled Chicken Drumsticks Recipe
I love grilled food! In my opinion if it can be cooked on the grill, it probably should be! Especially living in Arizona where it’s hot here year round, keeping the heat out doors is always a plus. Adding the crispy grilled taste makes food that much better. If you love grilled food as much as I do, you’ll love this easy grilled chicken drumsticks recipe! They are so easy to make but full of flavor and delicious!

Grilled Chicken Drumsticks Recipe
Ingredients:
- Chicken Drumsticks
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon of each: onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, paprika, pepper
- 1 tsp: cayenne pepper and salt
- Barbecue sauce (optional)
Mix together your flour and all seasonings in a large bowl or in a gallon sized ziploc bag. Toss the drumsticks into the flour mixture giving each drumstick a light coating. Transfer the drumstick to a plate and carry them out to your preheated grill.
Grill the drumsticks, turning when the first side is finished cooking. If you’d like to add barbecue sauce, brush on your favorite sauce for the last minute or two of cooking.
Before you remove your drumsticks, check to make sure they are cooked completely through by using a Cook’d Right Sensor. I used a 165º F Cook’d Right™ Sensor made to easily check and be sure the internal temperature of our drumsticks reached 165º to ensure they were done and ready to serve.
The Cook’d Right Sensor is super easy to use. It comes as an inexpensive toss away sensor so you know it’s clean and accurate every time. You just stick the sensor down into the center, thick part of the meat and wait 10 seconds. Then, quickly pull out the sensor and the tip will be red matching the color indicator showing done when your food is ready. If the indicator is still black, you’ll need to wait a bit longer and try the sensor again when you think your meat may be ready.
The Cook’d Right Sensor is perfect to take along on your tailgating parties as it leaves nothing left to need to clean-up or an expensive sensor to worry about. Just use your sensor and check your meats and then toss it away when you’re done!

Such a great idea for a product!
Thanks for the sensor.
These look so good! I love grilling.
those look delish! i want some now!!! those disposable thermometers look really neat.
I like that there is Cayenne in the recipe. We’d use the optional bbq too, and it looks just like some chicken my family would like a lot!
We love grilled chicken but typically stick with the breast. I love being able to check that food is the proper temperature to make sure it’s done enough but doesn’t dry out from being overcooked.
When I did Weight Watchers many years ago they really stressed chicken breasts because you could get more for less points (fat, calories.) When I was younger I didn’t have a problem with legs or thighs. I would fight for the legs. As I got older it seems I got this strange texture issue because over the last few years I just couldn’t eat thighs unless they were grilled and they really had to be super done. I have been trying new recipes because thighs and legs are so much cheaper. Last week I made some legs with a new coating for fake frying by baking in the oven. Over the course of 2 days I ate 5 legs. I was amazed at how wonderful they were. I can’t wait to share the recipe. I am pinning this because I have a feeling I will want to try more leg recipes!
Chicken drumsticks are so underrated. THey are SO good and flavorful.
These drumsticks are making my mouth water! They looks so delicious.
That is a really neat tester, I need one! Those dumsticks look so good! I love grilled chicken!
We are big chicken fans! In fact I just got 40 lbs picked up and put in the freezer!
I’ve never breaded, them grilled and tossed chicken. I can’t wait to try this recipe, I must be brimming with flavor!
I love the tester. I’m always having to re cook my chicken on the grill.
I love chicken legs, though my hubby is a white meat fan, so we don’t get them often. I like the sensor. I am always scared the chicken could be undercooked as it can be difficult to tell sometimes!
This chicken recipe looks so delicious. I will be trying it out this weekend for sure. I love the sensor it will make knowing when your meat is done so much easier.
Those sensors are really neat, it can be really difficult to know meat is done cooking.
I have always hated chicken drumsticks since I was a kid. You just made me change my mind! They looks soooo yummy!
Those look delicious, Janel!I love any type of grilled food because I can get my son to do the cooking!
My husband handles the grill, both he and my son LOVE chicken drumsticks. I love chicken, just not on the bone.
Those drumsticks look lick-smackin’ good!! I didn’t know off the top of my head what chicken should be cooked to – thanks for that visual reminder 🙂
Chicken drumsticks are a hit in my house! Never thought about breading and grilling. Glad you had the Cook’d Right Sensor to tell you when they were done!
I love chicken and this looks like a great recipe. I like the disposal sensor to make sure the chicken is done.
We all love chicken legs at out house! These look delicious!!
My kids love chicken legs!! We tend to grill them as long as we possibly can before the cold weather comes and we can’t anymore.
I loved grilled food as well. So much healthier! These look delicious.
Yum! Drumsticks are one of my daughters favorites. if i’m having trouble getting her to eat I make those.
Thanks!
