  The chicken should be lightly charred and is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part, away from the bone, reads a minimum of 165°F. If not, broil a little longer.

  Tip: The size of the drumstick can alter the cooking time. For best results test for doneness 5-10 minutes before the end of the cook. It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it.
