Grilled Honey Garlic BBQ Chicken Drumsticks

1.In a large bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.

2.Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

3.Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals until they are covered with white ash.

4.Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.

5.Place the drumsticks on the grill and cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Baste with the reserved marinade every 5-7 minutes to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.

6.The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and has a nice char on the outside.

7.Remove the drumsticks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
