Jamaican (inspired) Rum & Coke Butterflied Drumsticks

[R2Egg2Q]

There's a Cooked with Booze Throwdown ending soon so I combined a couple of recipes and applied it to butterflied chicken drumsticks.

Made some bbq sauce with the following ingredients including some "caribbean inspired" rum:

I saw folks have been grilling butterflied chicken drumsticks so I decided to give it a try. Marinated the legs in some rum & coke for a couple of hours.

Applied some Jah Love and some Genie's Trinity rub before they went onto the XL Egg:

Brushed on some of the sauce towards the end of the cook:

and served:

It did not suck. :grin: I'm going to have to do side by side cook with regular drumsticks and butterflied drums to determine if I will make it a regular cook. Chicken did cook faster.

That is a great looking cook! I've never heard of butterflied chicken legs, but it's just a great part of the bird in a slightly different form.
