Spicy Honey-Lime Grilled Drumsticks

Holding on to the last bit of summer and adding a touch of fall in one delicious dish. I choose drumsticks because they are cheaper and fun for kids too but you of course can do this on breasts or any kind of chicken you wish. You can also make this on the stove top or in the oven if you wish.

Enjoy!

8 chicken drumsticks
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
cooking spray
cilantro and lime wedges (garnish)

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, let stand covered 30 mins (if you don't have the time you can omit the wait)
Coat cold cooking grate of grill with cooking spray and place on grill Preheat grill to 350-400 heat. Grill chicken, covered with grill lid 5-10 minutes on each side or until browned.
Reduce grill temp to 250-300, covered with grill lid 20 mins.

This is a good time to make the sauce but remember to reserve 1 cup of the sauce for those who love to dip! Brush chicken with remaining sauce. Cover grill lid for 5 mins or until done. For added flavor you can use the zest of one of limes and put in the sauce as well. This would be good served with au gratin potatoes and a fall salad.
