Huli Huli Turkey Drumsticks Recipe

A Hawaiian BBQ twist on turkey drumsticks, marinated in the famous Azeka’s Maui Original Sauce, grilled to perfection, and smothered in green onions for a flavorful, caramelized finish.

Ingredients:

• 4 large turkey drumsticks
• 1 cup Azeka’s Maui Original Sauce, plus extra for serving
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for grilling)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the Drumsticks

Pat the turkey drumsticks dry with a paper towel. This helps the marinade adhere better.

Step 2: Marinate the Turkey

Place the drumsticks in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour Azeka’s Maui Original Sauce over them, ensuring each drumstick is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 3: Preheat & Prep the Grill

• Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-375°F).
• Lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Grill to Perfection

1. Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and shake off excess sauce.
2. Grill over indirect heat for 45-50 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes.
3. Brush additional marinade onto the drumsticks during the last 10 minutes for extra caramelization.
4. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 175-180°F and the skin is beautifully caramelized.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Transfer the drumsticks to a serving platter, sprinkle generously with chopped green onions, and serve with extra Azeka’s Maui Original Sauce on the side for dipping.

Pro Tip:

For even crispier skin, crank up the heat to 400°F for the last 5 minutes of grilling!
Enjoy your Huli Huli Turkey Drumsticks as the ultimate Hawaiian BBQ feast!
