Memphis BBQ Chicken Drumsticks | Crispy Spiced Grill

Wash and thoroughly pat dry the chicken drumsticks with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, granulated onion, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.

Rub the chicken drumsticks with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then generously coat them on all sides with the dry rub. Let them rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar - use this basting mixture (mop) to baste the meat during cooking.
