04 - 1/2 tsp black pepper

→ Spicy Peach Glaze

05 - 2/3 cup peach preserves or jam

09 - 1–2 tsp hot sauce, to taste
10 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F/180°C).

05 - During the last 10 minutes of grilling, brush the drumsticks generously with the spicy peach glaze, turning and glazing a few times until sticky and caramelized.
