Are you having deja vu? Didn’t I just share a drumstick recipe with you?

Yes, yes I did.

Haven’t I mentioned before that I can be a little obsessive when I find something I like? Well, that is exactly the case with these drumsticks. They are SO easy! I love super quick, simple meals that are devoured in a heart beat. It is the best of both worlds, hardly any effort, and absolutely no left overs!

Just like with the Smoked Drumsticks with Sriracha and Honey Lime sauce I grilled these without a thing on them! Just put them straight on the grill! While the meat was cooking I made a really simple tangy buffalo sauce. After they were done, I tossed them in the sauce and that was it!

Smoked Buffalo Drumsticks, bet you can't eat just one! Ready in under 30 minutes! #glutenfree

We had a delicious, albeit slightly messy dinner on our hands!

If you are making dinner or snacks for a crowd you can grill several pounds of drumsticks and make both the Sriracha sauce and this Buffalo sauce to give a couple options without the work of making an entirely different dish.

Drumsticks are smoked until they are perfectly tender then tossed in a tangy buffalo sauce! Ready in under 30 minutes!

The sauce works great for chicken wings too! Or if you aren’t a fan of bone in chicken you can brush it right over boneless chicken breast!

And if all else fails, just eat it with a spoon! It’s that good!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds drumsticks
  • 1/3 Franks Original Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a grill to 375
  2. Place the plain drumsticks directly on the grill and let cook for 25 minutes, turning once while cooking.
  3. Meanwhile, add the sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan and let simmer on medium low while the drumsticks are cooking. You do not want to boil, you just want to heat the mixture so the flavors meld and it thickens a tiny bit.
  4. Remove drumsticks from grill and place in a large bowl with a lid, pour the sauce over the drumsticks, place lid on bowl tightly and shake the bowl to evenly coat the drumsticks.
  5. Garnish drumsticks with any additional sauce left in the bowl.

    Wow, these drumsticks look so tasty, Annie! And I'm loving all your chicken recipes, so keep 'em coming! I like the addition of apple cider vinegar and coconut oil in here, too. Sounds like a perfect snack for my husband and I when football (or hockey) is on this weekend!

      I love buffalo sauce straight from the jar but adding the vinegar makes it extra tangy and I really think the coconut oil helps it kind of "cling" to the chicken. I think you will love them if you try them!

      Oh my goodness, so is Clayton! He would eat them every day if I made them, but bone in chicken can be a little tough for me to take night after night! But this sauce is amazing! We had it on shrimp last night! Omg, so good!

      Omg Nora I just laughed our loud! I really thought about putting these off another week or two, but I didn't want to wait so long that it can't still be considered "grilling weather" haha! :)

    These look delicious, I like the idea of smoked drumsticks! Excellent idea for football season :) I totally understand your obsession, I'm kind of the same way, when I find something I like, I keep experimenting and changing the recipe :)

    I'm a total sucker for drumsticks, wings...basically any kind of messy dinner. Franks buffalo sauce is one of my very favorites and I put it on just about everything - eggs, sandwiches, veggies, etc. I love, love the flavors you've got going on in the sauce. I bet we would LOVE it!

    Yum... this looks incredible! I bet you can even use the marinade on your veggies if you are a vegetarian or just want some extra yummy sides. Eat it with a spoon? Yes, I will!
