Happy Memorial Day!!🇺🇸

I'm not sure how remembering fallen soldiers ever got translated into weekend barbecues and family cookouts and please understand that even though I'm sharing a barbecue recipe today, I certainly don't want to diminish the significance of this important holiday. I am forever grateful for our military and those who paid the ultimate price for my freedom and today is the perfect day for me to reflect on that. So while you scroll through this delicious recipe, I hope that you'll take a moment to reflect on the significance of this important day as well.🇺🇸

With that being said - the fact is that there are a lot of cookout that happen on Memorial Day weekend so I will put forth one of my favorite barbecue recipes - barbecue chicken drumsticks. In case you're wondering - this recipe works with any cuts of chicken - thighs, breasts, wings, drumsticks. Pick out favorite and fire up the grill. Oh and, this white barbecue sauce is lick your fingers scrumptious but if you're not a fan - swap it out for your favorite red sauce.
