Buffalo Wing Drumsticks

Buffalo Wing Drumsticks are a fusion of spicy and tangy flavors, perfect for a Paleo-friendly BBQ feast. These succulent chicken drumsticks are marinated in a zesty blend of spices and finished with a homemade buffalo sauce that packs a punch.

Ingredients

• Chicken drumsticks - 6 pieces (about 900g)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Hot sauce (Paleo-friendly) - 4 tablespoons
• Honey (optional, for sweetness) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or oven to 200°C (400°F). If using an oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place them on the grill or baking sheet. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
5. While the drumsticks are cooking, prepare the buffalo sauce by mixing apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, and honey in a small saucepan over low heat until combined.
6. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the buffalo sauce over the drumsticks, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
7. Remove the drumsticks from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
