  1. Begin by patting the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin when grilled.
  2. Sprinkle the drumsticks with salt and pepper, tossing gently to coat evenly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and optional soy sauce, whisking until smooth.
  4. Set aside a portion of the glaze for brushing while grilling to prevent contamination.
  5. Set up your grill for indirect medium heat—about 350°F to 375°F.
  6. Place the drumsticks on the cooler side of the grill and cook for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
  7. During the last 10-15 minutes of grilling, brush the drumsticks generously with the reserved glaze.
  8. Once cooked through, remove the drumsticks from the grill and let them rest on a platter for about 5 minutes.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy your Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken Drumsticks!
