Step 1

Chop onion and scallions and add it to the food processor. Add spicy pepper, garlic cloves, and all remaining ingredients.

Step 2

Pulse until the mixture if completely smooth and blended.

Step 3

Place chicken into a large zip-lock bag and pour all the marinade over it.

Step 4

Close the bag and mix so chicken is coated evenly.

Step 5

Lay the bag down in a large plate and refrigerate overnight to marinade.

Step 6

Start the coals and make sure to preheat the grill first. Brush the grill grate with some oil to grease it and place chicken drumsticks on the grill.

Step 7

Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Open the lid and use metal tongues to flip the chicken quarter of the way. Close the lid and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Flip chicken another quarter of the way. Repeat until chicken is cooked all around. (Depending on the size of the drumsticks, it will take 30-35 minutes.)

Step 8

Use a leave-in thermometer to take the temperature of the chicken as it cooks. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the biggest drumstick and cook until the internal temperature is 165°.
