Method: Two-Zone Method
Temp: 300°F (Medium Heat)
3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place your chicken drumsticks on the grate away from the coals. Close the grill lid and cook your chicken for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 175–180°F.
While your chicken is cooking, combine your peach molasses glaze ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend your glaze until it’s smooth and pour it into a shallow bowl.
When your chicken’s ready, remove it from the grill and submerge each drumstick into the glaze to coat. Then place your drumsticks back on the grate, away from the coals, to cook for 8 minutes or until the sauce caramelizes.
Once ready, remove your drumsticks from the grill and enjoy!
