5. Place seasoned drumsticks on plate and lightly coat each one with the citrus honey mixture.

5. Place drumsticks on pan and grill (coated side down) for 7-9 minutes, coat other side, flip, and grill for 7-9 minutes more or until cooked through.

Keep It Chic: When serving, plate on a bed of vegetables and coat cooked chicken with remaining citrus honey mixture.
