Easy Grilled BBQ Chicken Drumettes

These grilled chicken drumettes are marinated in a zesty barbecue sauce and grilled to perfection. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken drumettes
1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumettes, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Marinate: Add half of the barbecue sauce to the chicken and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Grill the Drumettes: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Add Sauce: During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the remaining barbecue sauce onto the drumettes for extra flavor and glaze.
Serve: Remove the drumettes from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
