- If your are hosting a barbecue, you can finish the fully cooked drumsticks on the grill to crisp up the skin a little, and impart that delicious charcoal flavour. Just remember, this will only take a minute or 2
- Grip the drumstick by the small end, and devour it like the barbarian you really are
