BBQ Achiote Drumsticks

It was in the high 60's last night in South Florida and for us it was the perfect weather for a BBQ with friends. It was cool, very little to no humidity and best of all no mosquitos! The stars of last night's BBQ were chicken drumsticks, that had been brined and then marinaded in achiote paste. Sides tonight are no fuss, deli bought potato salad and cole slaw. Firing up the grill got the evenings festivities going.
