Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels.
  2. Preheat a smoker to 275°F using hickory or apple wood.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and brown sugar.
  4. Rub the drumsticks all over with the Missouri Kansas City Sweet & Smokey BBQ Infused Olive Oil Blend, then coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
  5. Arrange the drumsticks on the smoker grates and cook for 35 minutes.
  6. Stir the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water together in a small bowl.
  7. Brush the drumsticks with the sauce mixture and continue smoking for 12 to 15 minutes, until the skin is browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  8. Rest the drumsticks for 5 minutes before serving with extra sauce on the side.

Notes

For a little extra smoke character, cook over indirect heat and avoid opening the lid too often. The glaze goes on near the end so it stays glossy and doesn't scorch.
