Smoked Chicken Drumsticks

I took a stab at smoking meat on my new grill and it was easy and came out great!

Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Chicken drumsticks
  • 2 Tablespoons McCormick Grill Mates Chipotle & Roasted Garlic or so
  • Hickory wood chips

Instructions

  • Set your grill up so that either the chicken can be above the wood chips or it can be on the side in a cool zone. Every grill is different. My new grill, I can put the chicken on the rack and put the wood chips right under it. A lot of people will put the wood chips in a foil packet by the gas or right on the coals.
  • Coat your chicken with the Chipotle & Roasted Garlic spice blend. Make sure to rub it all over and under the skin as well.
  • Soak the wood chips for half hour before starting. Smoke the chicken at about 250 - 300 degrees for about 2 hours. When it is ready, grill it for a few minutes just to add a little char to the outside. Serve right away!
