Ingredients

  • 6 Chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 cup Pepsi
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil for the chicken
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepepr to taste
  • BBQ sauce of choice for basting

Instructions

  • Butterfly the chicken drumsticks by cutting along the bone and flattening them out.
  • In a bowl, mix Pepsi, soy sauce, minced garlic, and honey to create the marinade.
  • Place the drumsticks in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Brush with a bit of olive oil and season add powder seasonings
  • Grill the drumsticks for about 10-15 minutes per side, basting with the marinade occasionally, until they are fully cooked and have a nice char and juices run clear
  • When chicken is almost done cooking, begin to baste both sides every 2-3 minutes until chicken is nice and sticky

Notes

This can also be done in the oven, cook drumsticks at 400 degrees, flipping half way through 30-40 minutes, depending on thickness of drumsticks
