I love unique kitchen gadgets like this one. It holds up to 17 chicken drumsticks 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, we 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
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 grilled a little zucchini to go with dinner.
Just a few minutes to give the zucchini some grill marks. It’s that easy.
Dinner is ready. A side of rice and you have an easy summer meal.
Notes ♪♫ As always, check your ingredients for hidden gluten. I used Creole seasoning combined with brown sugar in this recipe.
