4 Refrigerate and let marinate at least one hour or up to overnight.
5 Prepare gas or charcoal grill, or preheat broiler.
6 Remove chicken from refrigerator and sit at room temperature about 20 minutes. Discard marinade.
7 Grill drumsticks uncovered (or broil) over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, turning to sear all sides.
8 Move chicken to medium-low heat and continue grilling for additional 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until cooked through.
9 Drumsticks should register 170 degrees on meat thermometer.
