Delicious Easy Asian Grilled Drumsticks

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is SO good! Plan ahead the chicken needs to marinate about 8 hours. This chicken is delicious both hot or cold! If you are doubling this recipe, and I suggest you do, this chicken is very good, prepare two separate marinades in two bowls and use two separate bags for marinating (10 drumsticks in each bag)."

I marinated for 9 hours. I peeled the skin off of 3 of my drumsticks, just to see if they would stay moist....they did. The other drumsticks, I loosened the skin to allow the marinade to get to the meat. I cooked on a charcoal grill over indirect heat, and they turned out very good. But I can't help think that they might have been better if I'd cooked them in the oven, basting with the marinade like the previous reviewer. I'll try that next time. These drumsticks turned out very moist and were very good. Made for Zaar 123 Hits tag game.

The flavour of the marinade on the chicken drumsticks was awesome (unfortunately mine only got 5 hours). My 10 drumsticks were small and served 3 of us with JustJanS recipe #315052. I made up the marinade and reserved 1/4 cup and when it came to cook the chicken I drained the drumsticks onto a rack and basted them with the reserve marinade to bake them in a 175C fan forced oven for 35 minutes (larger drumsticks could take 45 minutes) basting them every 10 to 15 minutes. I also think these drumsticks would be great served cold for a picnic or packed as part of lunch for work school with a salad. Thank you Kittencal for a great meal, made for Unrated Asian Recipe Tag Game.
