When you have less time to marinate but still want to enjoy the full flavor, these drumsticks will hold the flavor to the very end, delicious and very quick, eat them hot off the grill or at room temperature, making them a great picnic meal, also these are super kid-friendly, guaranteed to make them messy but who cares as long as their tummy is happy.
I have made these with a side of grilled asparagus and grilled bread sprinkled with extra virgin olive oil and salt
