I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of drumsticks, but these were fantastic! The grilling time was spot on. They were done around 20 minutes in, and I flipped them every 5 minutes for even grilling. I used medium heat with the lid closed. I let them sit for a few minutes on the grill to keep warm after I turned it off, while I finished the rest of the meal. I was worried these might be too salty because of the ranch dressing, but they came out super flavorful. I’d just hold off on adding any additional salt until serving, just in case.
