1

Put on food safe gloves to handle raw chicken.

2

Lay the drumsticks out with the meaty side on top.

3

Make a cut down the middle of the drumstick to butterfly it open, cutting alongside the bone but not cutting it off.

4

Trim the meat to expose more surface area for flavor.

5

Season the drumsticks with Tina Cannon's European blend, Honky Tonk Nashville hot seasoning, and Jacobson's garlic salt, mixing them well to coat the chicken.

6

Place the seasoned drumsticks in the refrigerator to dry out the skin for crispy texture.

7

Prepare the Alabama white sauce by combining 1/2 cup of blue top Hellman's mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of prepared horseradish, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a bowl and mix until combined.

8

Refrigerate the white sauce to let the flavors meld.

9

Grill the drumsticks skin side up for about 5 minutes, then check for doneness.

10

Flip the drumsticks over to cook the other side, moving them around on the grill to ensure even cooking.

11

Continue grilling for a total of about 10 to 15 minutes, flipping occasionally to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
