Servings: 12 pieces
Calories: 130kcal
Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumsticks (approximately 3 pounds)
- 2 Tablespoons black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons white pepper
- 1 Tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 Tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat, 350F.
- Let the grill completely heat up so the grill grates are very hot. While it is heating, make the dry rub mixture by combining the spices in a small bowl. Adjust to taste.
- Make sure the chicken is wet (not dry) so the dry rub sticks to the chicken. If dry, very lightly coat with water or a little oil.
- Sprinkle and rub the spice mixture into each drumstick, all the way around.
- Prepare your grill by rubbing a raw potato, cut in half, across the grill grates. (Or any other preferred way you like to prepare your grill so food does not stick).
- Place the chicken drumsticks on the grill and cook until you are getting grill lines, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F, approximately an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
The cooking time can vary greatly with your grill performance and size of the chicken.
This spice mixture will be similar in heat to medium salsa.
