Buffalo chicken drumsticks

Cook your drumsticks with the skin on to maintain their juiciness, and then remove the skin (or most of it) right before chowing down. That will decrease the amount of artery clogging fat you’re taking in. If you crunch the numbers, it’s more than a 200 calorie saving per two drumsticks.

Ingredients 

8 drumsticks (about 2 lbs)

1 fresh garlic clove minced (can also use 1/2 tsp garlic powder)

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1½ Tbsp of butter

1½ Tbsp of a hot sauce

How to make it 

Preheat grill to 450° F.

Place the drumsticks in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, mix the onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper.  Add to the large bowl with the garlic. Mix well.

Place drumsticks on the heated grill and turn about every 6 minutes. You’ll be cooking the drumsticks for 30 to 40 minutes.

When there are about 15 minutes left, melt the butter and mix in the hot sauce to create your Buffalo sauce.

Brush on the drumsticks as you’re turning them the last 2 or 3 times.

When the meat reaches about 180°F you’re done and the meat will be just about falling off the bone.
