  • Dans the man!!! Made this exact recipe including 1 hour brine. It’s really good. I did have to add about 1 teaspoon of salt to rub after initially tasting it. Juicy tender drums and I used charcoal grill. It’s easy and a keeper for sure.

  • I'm angry at myself because I saw a video recently where the chef used a knife against the bone and pushed the skin toward the top of the drumstick then miraculously grabbed the tendon with his gingers and pulled it out. Such a neat trick because I really don't like that tendon. But I forgot the exact procedure.

  • We always soak any of the chicken parts in salt water like that. It takes that funky and odd taste out of the meat. Grocery store chicken has changed over the years. I don't know what they do different from when I was a kid. We sometimes do the salt water bath to beef roast too. More blood comes out of the meat and again that funky something is gone after the salt water bath. Very good video!

  • I love your stuff! I have learned so much! Its so informative, easy to follow and staged. And I say staged in a good way. The personalities and scripted no doubt and production, top notch!

  • My Mexican friends taught me a trick. In addition to oiling the grill, they put a half a small onion of a fork and rub the grill with the onion. Outstanding!

  • Great recipe and process. Somehow though, I almost always end up with a 'raw' interior, my bad. My solution. Directly from the grill, or oven, to the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes. Then just let them rest for a few minutes.

  • We made these tonight and they were amazing! It did remind me of a reverse sear method. I used a chipotle chili powder as well. Great recipe and thank you for sharing!

  • Simple recipe with simple ingredients, with directions anyone can follow… not only that, but I appreciate learning all of the reasoning behind it all!
    I jumped on the Keto train about 1 month or so ago & lost about 15 lbs. It's not as easy as many make it out to be, but with all of your awesome keto friendly recipes, at least I know my taste buds will be happy!! Thank you ATK!
    Now…if you guys could only come up with a way to give me more will power to stay away from real sugar lol…. 🙄😂😉

  • Or you can do it restaurant style. Cook it in the oven and finish them off on the grill.

  • I wasn’t able to access the recipe on the link they provided. It’s just a teaser click-bait which is blocked by a popup that tries to harass you into applying for a “trial membership “. Too bad, I expected more from this outfit.

  • Curious, after the first 25 minutes you switched the rows but didn't appear to turn them over. Should they be turned or remain on the same side on the grill?

  • I have seen your video for wood cutting board, but do you have a recommendation for something to place raw meat on so that it can be easily washed for bacteria? Also, for the wood cutting board, is your recommendation to use it for veggies, fruit, etc and then have a reverse side for cooked meats and a reservoir.

  • Are there any substitute for the cayenne pepper, pepper, and chilli powder for people with allergies?

  • My last few times I’ve cooked drumsticks and no matter how long i cooked them they seemed to keep “bleeding” so I vowed to stop buying them. I’ll give this a try, although I’m not certain it will be any different. I know it’s only myoglobin but it’s very unappetizing to see it running out of the chicken as you’re about to dig in. anyone have any tips on how to stop that?
