Ingredients

Smoked chicken drumsticks are an easy, economical, and delicious recipe. They’re also a great option for those looking to try smoking their own meat.

A quick and simple smoked chicken seasoning rub is all you need for these drumsticks, and the secret to getting crispy skin is to smoke them low and finish with a sear.

These drumsticks are perfect for a party or barbecue and go well with most sides. You can pair them with a side salad like this avocado potato salad or this vegan coleslaw for a refreshing and light meal.

Preparation

Paleo smoked chicken drumsticks are not just delicious, they’re healthy too. This recipe uses a dry rub and then finishes them on the grill, which produces crisp skin and tender meat.

The marinade is made with dates, coconut aminos, and avocado oil. It’s Paleo-friendly and naturally sweet.

It also has a little heat from the chipotle sauce, which pairs nicely with the smoky flavors of the dry rub. You can serve it with a chipotle aioli dip as well, which is creamy and tangy.

Before you smoke the chicken, prepare it by brining it in a mixture of salt, pepper, lemon juice, and coconut oil for at least a few hours, or even overnight. This helps to redistribute the liquids in the meat and dry the skin for a crisper texture.

Cooking

When you want to add a bit of smoky flavor to your meat, cooking it on a smoker grill is the way to go. With a simple dry rub and a relatively short cook time, these smoked chicken drumsticks are a fool-proof recipe that will get you perfect results every time!

They are quick and easy to make, and they go with just about anything! They’re also a good option for meal prep, as you can cut them up to serve smaller amounts of protein in different recipes.

This recipe is made even easier if you butterfly your drumsticks before placing them in the smoker! Butterflied chicken legs will give you more coverage of your smoked rub and help to create crispy skin.

This recipe is a great choice for Paleo diets since it has minimal added sugar and fat. It’s also low in calories and contains no added nitrates or nitrites, so it can be enjoyed by vegetarians and vegans!

Serving

Paleo eating focuses on whole foods, including meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. It’s also a low-carb diet that excludes sugar, grains, and most dairy products.

It’s a simple, healthy way to reduce your risk for chronic disease and improve your overall health. It’s also a good option if you’re looking for a weight loss plan that’s sustainable and easy to follow.

However, it’s important to remember that it can take a few weeks for your body to adjust to this new way of eating.

In general, the paleo diet is a great option for those who are trying to lose weight or reduce their risk of disease. It also has many benefits, such as reducing inflammation and supporting normal immune function.

Eating a high-protein and fat diet may help support satiety and reduce appetite. It can also boost your metabolism and decrease caloric intake. But it’s important to avoid eating too much red meat, which is high in saturated fat.
