Ingredients
- 1 cup Mexican Bulgogi Marinade
- 8 chicken drumsticks
Directions
- Prepare the Mexican Bulgogi Marinade at least 1 day in advance, and refrigerate it until it is ready for use.
- Prep the chicken at least 4 to 8 hours before you are ready to begin grilling. Rinse and pat the drumsticks dry. Place them in a resealable bag and pour the marinade into the bag.
- Press any air out of the bag and seal it. Thoroughly massage the chicken to incorporate the marinade.
- Marinate the chicken for 4 to 8 hours in the refrigerator. (Two hours of marinating imparts a slight hint of flavor, but 10 hours is too much.)
- After 4 to 8 hours, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature.
- Bring the grill to medium heat.
- Grill the drumsticks for 30 minutes, rotating them often.
- To serve, fold a napkin in half diagonally, and it wrap tightly around the base of each drumstick.

These drumsticks conjure up memories of a sunny day with my family, kids scrambling around, and my friends and their kids all doing what people need and love to do: eating and being social. As the grill master, I love the responsibility of transforming inedible chunks of flesh into succulent gold and doling it out. I picture Bill Murray in What About Bob?, devouring Fay’s chicken and moaning with delight. Few other experiences in life are this rewarding and awesome! This recipe is party favorite Numero Uno. It never fails. If Metallica’s Ride the Lightning were a drumstick, this would be it.
