Easy Smoked Chicken Drumsticks image

Drumsticks absorb the smoke flavor nicely and also do not dry out, making them one of my favorite cuts to smoke. They also don't need babysitting, so you can throw them on and go about doing other things.

These drumsticks are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of smoked chicken on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make these drumsticks during the week.

I served the drumsticks with a side of roasted potatoes and grilled corn on the cob. It was a delicious meal!

I added some chopped jalapenos to the rub, and it gave the drumsticks a nice spicy kick.

I didn't have any liquid smoke, so I used smoked paprika instead. It worked really well, and the drumsticks had a nice smoky flavor.

The chicken drumsticks were a bit dry. I think I should have cooked them for less time.

These drumsticks were a bit too smoky for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less smoke next time.
