Drumsticks on the UDS?

Postby FlintRiverFowler » Thu Jun 26, 2014 10:38 am

Anybody ever done it? I've only done whole chickens and turkeys. Never parts. My chickens haven't turned out too good brined or not, but the turkeys were awesome.
Picked up a package of 8 chicken legs for $3.50 last night at the grocery store so I figured I'd give it a whirl.
Probly gona rub them down with olive oil and lemon pepper and cook around 350-375 on the upper rack. How long should these take?

I've done leg quarters, but never just legs. Brined the quarters overnight, then did about 215 for 4 hours. Turned out good, but I don't like the legs anyway, so probably not the most unbiased opinion.

Thought you cooked for temp rather than time?

It's hard to get an accurate reading on such a small piece of meat with my giant "thermometer".

Not really. I'll cook to a minimum temp, but the longer I keep stuff on (wrapped in foil), the more tender it gets.

Well first off I guess I counted wrong there's only 5 in a package.
But I did three in my secret bbq rub and two with lemon pepper. Adhered it to the meat with olive oil so that it essentially fries the skin at around 360*.

Artistic.

It was delicious. It's cheap and easy. Took two hours. Put them on at 250 and just let the grill rise for two hours finished around 350. Shut it down and sauced them. Let that stand for ten mins and took them off.
This would be a good cook if you're having a crowd over. I could've easily fit 20 maybe 30 on there. Did I mention its cheap and easy?

$3.50 for 5 drumsticks seems pretty pricey to me. Legs and thighs go for .79 a lb here.

Not that it matters I guess. I'm not a fan of them. Usually stick to bone in, skin on split breasts.

Those do look tasty though.

They were pretty damn fat drumsticks. Threw the package away already or I'd look. A full meal for two anyways and the meat was only $3.50. As compared to steaks, ribs, chicken breast, Boston butt etc....
