Notes
- The should be at least 165°F. The easiest way to measure this is with a meat thermometer. If you don’t have one, you can tell when they are done because the juices will run clear. You can also cut into one to ensure it’s cooked all the way through.
- Yes, you can! You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on how big they are.
- Yes, you can cook frozen ones but you will need to increase the cooking time by approximately an hour.
- BBQ drumsticks will keep two to three days in the refrigerator. You can warm them up in the microwave or enjoy them cold!
