Smoked Chicken Drumsticks Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Recipes. (Smoked Chicken Drumsticks Recipe). These smoky chicken drumsticks are so versatile and easy! I like to use applewood chips or other fruit woods, but maple is also a great choice. Use your favorite BBQ rub. Letting the drumsticks air dry in the refrigerator overnight, combined with a higher smoking temperature, helps prevent rubbery skin that is common when smoking chicken. Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce, if desired.
