My granddaughter loved these drumsticks and she is a picky eater.

Very delicious! Think I am going to try it with leg quarters next time though.

Excellent, super easy recipe. I would suggest doubling the sauce so you have plenty to use for basting--especially if you use larger drums. Served with a rice dish and simple salad. Will make again and would serve to guests.

Marinade was good, but could use more lemon flavor. Maybe if it was actually marinated for a while to absorb some of the lemon flavor. I used 3 leg quarters, cut into 6 pieces. Served w/salad & cheesy brocoli rice.

These are super easy to make and they taste wonderful! I always make them when I have drumsticks and I don't want to just grill them. The butter-garlic gives them a mouthwatering taste.
