The Best Chicken Drumsticks Ever!
While I use my smoker throughout the winter, I just love it when the warm weather comes and the snow melts. Once spring arrives, I get my smokers going all the time. There are many different types of meat and other things that I like to smoke, from ribs, to fish, chicken and so much more.
This one is special.
Some recipes require a bunch of prep and others are quick to get ready to throw in the smoker. This recipe is super fast to prepare and it is amazing. Marinating the drumsticks in the hot sauce gives them some nice heat and smoking them wrapped in bacon adds incredible flavor.
These will be gobbled up fast, so make sure that you make a lot!
