::Mojo Drumsticks::

AIDAN AND I HAVE AVOIDED CHICKEN ON THE BBQ FOR FEAR OF THE DREADED DRYNESS. BUT THEN WERE HOSTED BY FOLKS WHO DID IT RIGHT. WE HAVE BEEN COOKING THESE BABIES EVER SINCE.

8-10 chicken drumsticks

Marinade::1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs fresh lime juice
2 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs minced garlic
1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions:: 1. Whisk together marinade ingredients. Place in a large freezer bag with drumsticks. Press out the air and seal. Leave in the fridge for up to 8 hours. Turn over halfway. 2. Remove chicken. Empty marinade into a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil for one minute and use to baste the chicken on the BBQ. 3. Grill meat over direct medium heat until grill marked. Then grill on indirect medium heat for 30-40 minutes until juice runs clear. For crispy skin place back on direct heat for the last 5 minutes.

Sides:: Grilled Veggies and Grilled baguette
