Put the drum in Drumsticks...

1/4 cup basting oil
Mix 1/4 cup Canola oil, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp dried parsley, 1/4 tsp garlic powder.
Let sit for five minutes.

1/4 cup McCormick BBQ seasoning (I like to use the sweet ones but any will do)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Mix all ingredients above. Set aside.

3 lbs Chicken drumsticks. Can also use chicken split breasts and thighs (bone in).

1. Add chicken to BBQ seasoning. Tossing to coat. Marinate covered, 6-8 hours in refrigerator. I like to marinate mine for 24 hours. Tossing half way through time.

2. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Transfer chicken to baking sheet. Bake 2 hours, or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees. Remove from oven. Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Place chicken on grill and turn down grill to mid-low. Close lid. Grill for 3 minutes turn over and grill for another three minutes. Remove from grill and serve.

You can also broil the chicken. Adjust rack to 6 inches from heat. Broil chicken 5-8 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
