I love interesting kitchen gadgets like this one. It holds up to 17 chicken drumsticks (or jalapenos) at one time! I wasn’t even thinking about gluten when I bought it, but it does have the advantage of holding the drumsticks upright so that they never touch the grill surface. The chicken is coated with a dry rub and suspended vertically in the drumstick holder. For this “off heat” method of grilling, you light only one side of the grill, and the drumsticks are cooked on the opposite side. Since they are upright, the drumsticks do not need to be turned. With only 3 ingredients, this recipe is easy to prepare, and the chicken comes out moist and delicious every time. I made 8 drumsticks, but you can double the recipe for a larger family.

Ingredients:
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 3 tbsp. brown sugar
- 3 tbsp. gluten free BBQ rub (see notes)
Preparation:
Whisk together the brown sugar and BBQ seasoning. Rub the chicken all over with the seasoning mixture and place in the drumstick holder.
Light one side of the grill, and remove the grate from the opposite side. Place the chicken on the side opposite the flame. Cover and grill for 1 hour.
Toward the end of the cook time, I made a side of zucchini slices to go with dinner.
A side of rice and you have an easy summer meal.
Notes ♪♫ No grill? No problem. You can bake them in the oven at 350º for about an hour. Don’t forget to check your seasoning blends for hidden gluten. I used a Creole Seasoning combined with brown sugar in this recipe.
