Absolutely delicious
Very easy to cook and very yummy
Beautiful, tasty and cheap meal. I used smokey BBQ sauce, as I don’t have liquid smoke.
Turned out great!
So delicious! Will be a regular in our house!
Easy and very delicious, saved to my favourite recipes to cook again.
This. With corn and coleslaw. A-MAZING! The flavours are incredible and a very budget friendly meal for a crowd, especially when COLES or Woolies drumsticks go on sale for $2-$4kg! We love this. So good.
Yummy! Didn’t have liquid smoke but used an American Bbq sauce that had a smokey flavour.
Making again on Sunday . Marinating chicken after it gets delivered today then refrigerate until Sunday morning . This is my brothers all time favourite meal and who can blame him . The flavour is amazing and so easy to prepare . So glad I sourced liquid smoke . The smell of that on its own is divine .
This recipe was a win, absolutely delicious! I used chicken Maryland’s in lieu of drumsticks. Followed the recipe otherwise, marinated the morning before and the flavour was well absorbed. I finished chicken off in the oven to avoid sloppy skin
Love this bbq chook. I used 6 chicken drumsticks, took the skin off, used half a cup of Smokey bbq marinade from Aldi, followed the rest of the recipe. It was sooo delicious. Served it with mash and veggies.
