With a classic spice blend of paprika, cumin, onion powder and cayenne pepper, this drumstick recipe is versatile and will go with almost any side dish. The apple juice is the secret weapon in the marinade, and balances out the spicy ingredients with a hint of sweetness.
Drumsticks are budget-friendly and pair perfectly with a side of veggies at a backyard BBQ cookout. Kids love to eat with their hands, so these drumsticks are great for the kids to grab and gnaw away! Sure, there will be messy hands and faces for kids and adults alike, but that's what makes backyard gatherings so much fun.
Looking for a grilled vegetable side? Toss sliced sweet potatoes on the grill during the final 10 minutes of grilling.
You can also pair these drumsticks with a fresh, crisp salad. If you have any drumsticks left over, carve the meat off the bone with a sharp knife and toss it in a salad the next day.
