Crispy Honey Lime Grilled Butterflied Chicken Drumsticks

Servings: 6

For the Honey Lime Butterflied Drumsticks:

• Sanderson Farms Chicken Drumsticks Value Pack
• ¼ cup BBQ Seasoning, or favorite chicken seasoning
• ½ cup Honey
• 1 Lime, juice and zest
• 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 1” Fresh Ginger, grated
• Ranch, storebought or homemade (below)

For the High Protein Ranch:

• 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
• ¼ cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• (Optional) 1 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 tsp. Garlic Granules
• 1 tsp. Onion Powder
• 1 tbsp. Fresh Chives, chopped
• 1 tbsp. Fresh Dill, chopped
• Salt & Black Pepper, to taste

1. For the High Protein Ranch: Mix all ingredients together until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If time allows, set aside in the fridge for 30 minutes to help the flavors develop.
2. For the Butterflied Drumsticks: Preheat the grill to 400F or medium-high heat.
3. Mix the honey, lime zest, lime juice, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
4. 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.
5. Place the drumsticks directly on the hot grills to cook 5-6 minutes, until golden and crisp.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Enjoy with the homemade or storebought ranch!
