-
1 cup peach preserves
-
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
-
1 tbsp. soy sauce
-
4 tsp. molasses
-
12 chicken drumsticks
-
yellow mustard
Dry Rub
-
1.25 tsp. paprika
-
2 tsp. garlic salt
-

2 Grill Prep
Method: Two-Zone Method
Temp: 300°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
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.
3 The 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!
