Viewed: 51 - Published at: 4 years agoIngredients
- 2 tablespoons five-spice powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 turkey drumsticks, without thighs (about 4 pounds)
- 3/4 cup wood chips, soaked
- 6 cloves garlic, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 1/2 -inches fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 3/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 4 teaspoons Asian chili sauce, such as Sriracha
- 4 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
Method
- 1.
- For the rub: Mix the five-spice powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, granulated garlic, and onion powder together in a bowl.
- Smear the spices all over the drumsticks.
- Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- 2.
- Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-hot fire on one side of the grill for both direct and indirect cooking.
- Position a drip pan under the grate on the cool side.
- Toss 1/2 cup soaked wood chips onto the coals.
- 3.
- Lay the turkey legs on the grate over the drip pan.
- Cover the grill and position the lid's vent holes directly over the meat.
- When the fire dies down, after 45 minutes or so, add about a 1/2 dozen pieces of cold charcoal and the remaining wood chips to maintain a medium to medium-low smoky fire.
- 4.
- Meanwhile, make the mop: Whisk together the garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin, chili sauce, and scallions.
- 5.
- Set aside about half the sauce for serving.
- After about 1 hour, mop the turkey drumsticks with some of the mop and flip.
- Mop and flip every 10 minutes or so until the legs are browned and glazed and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers about 170 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes more.
- Serve the drumsticks with the reserved mop on the side.
