Preparation
- Using a knife, cut the tendon of the chicken winglet. Push down the meat to form a “lollipop” with the drumstick. Do not to push the meat too much, else the flesh will not hold on to the lower bone. The upper bone should be cleaned. Cut about 1 cm off the bottom of the drumsticks so that they stand upright. Coat the drumsticks with the marinade.
- Pour olive oil, garlic, and butter into a cast iron pot to fill the bottom and place the drumsticks upright. Place the pot on the coals with the lid closed and put more coals on the lid. Cook for about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Make a bed of glowing embers in a cast iron pot. Moisten the fir branches and place them on top of the embers. Place the drumsticks on the bed of damp fir. Close the lid.
- Leave to smoke for about 20 minutes.
