  1. Beautiful, tasty and cheap meal. I used smokey BBQ sauce, as I don’t have liquid smoke.
    Turned out great!

  2. 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.
