Smoked Chicken Drumsticks, also called chicken legs, are a bone-in dark meat chicken recipe seasoned with a bold dry rub, slow-smoked on a pellet grill, and finished with a sticky BBQ glaze at high heat for crispy skin. They're a low-effort, high-reward recipe that works beautifully for summer cookouts, backyard BBQs, and easy family dinners without standing over the grill all afternoon. Unlike most smoked BBQ chicken drumstick recipes that rely on generic seasoning packets or refined sugar rubs, this version uses a homemade dry rub made with coconut sugar and Post Oak pellets for a clean, deeply smoky flavor that doesn't need a sauce to be incredible.
