Method

1. 1

   Prepare the chicken: Carefully butterfly each chicken drumstick by making a cut along the bone to flatten it, ensuring it cooks more evenly.

2. 2

   Season the chicken: Generously season both sides of the butterflied drumsticks with Holy Smoker Diablito Chili Lime seasoning.

3. 3

   Preheat the grill: Set up your grill for medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-205°C). For charcoal, arrange coals for direct grilling.

4. 4

   Grill the chicken: Place the seasoned drumsticks directly on the hot grill grates. Grill for 20-25 minutes, flipping every 5-7 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and charred.

5. 5

   Prepare the sauce: While the chicken is grilling, combine the melted unsalted butter, hot sauce, lime zest, and lime juice in a small saucepan. Stir well to combine.

6. 6

   Sauce the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the hot drumsticks to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared butter chili lime sauce over the chicken.

7. 7

   Toss and serve: Toss the drumsticks thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the delicious sauce. Serve immediately.
