Ingredients

3 tbsp Brown Sugar

8 Chicken Drumsticks

Garlic, Minced

Ginger, minced

2 Tbsp Honey

1 cup Ketchup

1/2 Lemon, Juice

1/2 Lime, Juiced

2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar

1/4 Cup Soy Sauce

1 Tbsp Pit Boss Sweet Heat Rub

Special Tools

Basting Brush

Mixing bowl

Resealable plastic bag

Small saucepan

Temperature Probe

Whisk

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, honey, ginger, garlic, lemon, lime and Pit Boss Sweet Heat Rub. Reserve half of the mixture for dipping sauce and set aside. Use the remaining half and pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the drumsticks and seal bag. Refrigerate for at least 4-12 hours. Remove chicken from bag, discarding marinade.

Fire up your Pit Boss Grill and set the temperature to 225°F. If you're using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for low-medium heat. Smoke the chicken over indirect heat with grill lid closed for 2 – 3 hours, turning once or twice, until the chicken reaches 180°F. During the last half hour, feel free to brush more glaze on.
