How to Make Grilled Butterflied Chicken Drumsticks:

  1. Preheat the grill to 400F or medium-high heat.
  2. Mix the honey, lime zest, lime juice, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. To butterfly the chicken drumsticks, you’ll cut 2-4 slits alongside the bone to reveal the meat inside. Season both sides generously with the seasoning. Repeat with remaining drumsticks.
  4. Place the drumsticks directly on the hot grills to cook 5-6 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  5. Use tongs to flip the chicken, then brush the chicken drumsticks with half of the honey lime sauce. Cook another 5-6 minutes, until golden and slightly charred.
  6. Flip over the drumsticks to brush the remaining honey lime sauce on the other side and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, until fully cooked and skin is crispy.
