Here are a number of tips that can help you save energy, mainly by making your kitchen area more green.

Let us begin with something really easy, changing the particular light bulbs. Obviously you shouldn’t confine this to just the cooking area. You need to replace your incandescent lights with energy-saver, compact fluorescent light bulbs. Although costing a little more initially, these kinds of bulbs last as long as ten of the conventional type as well as using a lot less energy. Changing the light bulbs would likely keep a great deal of bulbs out of the landfills, and that is good. It goes further than simply swapping the lights, though; turning off lights that aren’t needed is definitely another good thing to do. In the kitchen is where you’ll usually come across members of a family, and often the lights are not turned off until the last person goes to bed. And it’s not limited to the kitchen, it happens in other parts of the house at the same time. Do an exercise if you like; have a look at the amount of electricity you can save by turning the lights off as soon as you don’t need them.

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to smoked chicken drumsticks recipe. To cook smoked chicken drumsticks you only need 7 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

The ingredients needed to cook Smoked Chicken Drumsticks:
  1. Take 1 package drumsticks (10)
  2. Use 1/4 cup AP rub
  3. Use (1 cup salt, 1/2 cup granulated garlic, 1/4 pepper)
  4. Get BBQ Chicken Rub (see my recipe)
  5. Take Wing Rub (same rub used on my smoked wings)
  6. You need Sauces:
  7. Get Any kind you like, I used a trio of Buffalo, Hot BBQ and Teriyak
Steps to make Smoked Chicken Drumsticks:
  1. Put the drumsticks, AP rub and enough water for them to be about half submerged into a zip top bag. Flip the bag every 6-8 hours and let brine at least 24 hours. A large enough vessel to completely submerge all under the water can be used if you have the room.
  2. After they have brined overnight pat dry and dust with the rub mixes. I did 8 with my chicken bbq rub and 2 with the wing rub for the ones I used the buffalo sauce on.
  3. When coated on all sides with the rub mix hang on a leg rack and let sit to get the chill off while the smoker comes to between 250°-275°.
  4. Let them smoke for 1-1/2 hours. Check them to see if a good color and slight crispness is set on the skin and some fat is starting to render out. If the skin is still on the light and rubbery side let them cook for another 15 - 30 minutes.
  5. Once the skin is dark and and the fat is starting to render coat with sauce and let cook 1/2 hour.
  6. Sauce again and smoke for another 15 minutes. Then let rest continuing to hang for another 15 minutes.
  7. Grab a couple to eat now and hold the rest back to store for other meals. If you're planning a party skip the brine but still use the AP rub as a coating before the rub. Then smoke at about 300°-350° and for about an hour less and only saucing once should be enough.
