7 fl oz barbecue sauce

Steps

Toss the drumsticks with oil, salt, and the dry spices.
Set up the grill for two zones — hot coals on one side, nothing on the other.
Cook on the cool side with the lid on for 25 minutes, turning once.
Move over the fire for 5 minutes to char, brushing with sauce in the last 2 minutes so it doesn't burn.
Pull at 80°C / 175°F and rest 5 minutes.
