🔥 $8 Crispy Chicken Challenge! BBQ’d on the Oklahoma Joe’s Bronco 2.0 (0-to-400 Charcoal Magic) 🍗

🔥 Welcome back BBQ fam! Today we’re flipping the script on the BBQ Value Series with some organic chicken drumsticks that cost me only $7.59 total 🤯. Yep — BBQ dinner for under $8!

I fired up my Oklahoma Joe’s Bronco 2.0 Drum Smoker and put my Chef’s Temp S1 + Breezo fan system to the test with the legendary 0-to-400 method (straight to 400°F over charcoal). The results? Crispy, smoky, juicy chicken drummies that rival ANY wing joint! 🍗🔥

✨ Cook Highlights:

Organic air-chilled chicken drumsticks 🐓 ($1.94/lb at Sam’s Club) ‪@samsclub‬

Rub: Whiskey Bent BBQ “The Bird” 🧂

Binder: Olive oil for crispy skin 🧄

Smoker: OKJ Bronco 2.0 over Rockwood lump + hickory chunks 💨

Controller: Chef’s Temp S1 + Breezo fan system 🌬️

Final temps: 190–200°F with crackly skin perfection 🤯

⚡ Verdict: Crispy outside ✅ Juicy inside ✅ Budget-friendly ✅ Football-night approved 🏈🍻
