  1. Super drumsticks! I served the reheated marinade as a dip, since it had been boiled. I marinated for 4 hours, and I pulled the skin off of half the drumsticks to save fat calories. I have to admit, the ones with the skin on were much more juicy, and I didn't eat the skin. I thought the ones I pulled the skins off of would absorb the marinade flavor more, but really didn't notice that....just noticed that the ones I left the skins on were moister. Really enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for sharing. Made for Newest tag.
