Preparation

In a large bowl, mix the beer, lime juice, olive oil, BBQ spices, honey, soy sauce, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Salt and pepper generously.
Add the drumsticks to a large resealable bag, pour in three-quarters of the marinade, seal and mix to coat well. Reserve the remaining marinade in the fridge. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
Preheat the barbecue to medium heat. Oil the grate.
Drain the drumsticks and grill for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning every 5 to 6 minutes, until they are well browned and cooked through (82°C / 180°F inside). Baste with reserved marinade during cooking to intensify the flavor and achieve a shiny caramelized crust. Serve with lime wedges, a cold beer and paper napkins.
