Chef Renee Kelly, formerly of Renee Kelly's Harvest restaurant in Johnson County's historic Caenen Castle, was a long-time customer with us. She has since moved to Wyoming, where she is the food and beverage director of Saratoga Hot Springs Resort and GM of Snowy Mountain Brewery. When we reached inside our spice cabinet for inspiration recently, we pulled out a spice rub labeled with Renee Kelly's logo. We asked her to share one of her favorite rub recipes with us, and we used the rub to make yogurt-marinated drumsticks on the grill! Thank you Renee!!

Chef Renee Kelly's Spice Rub Yogurt-Marinated Drumsticks

1 to 2 teaspoons Spice Rub

2 cups plain yogurt

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons kosher salt

8 Barham Family Farm drumsticks

A generous sprinkling of paprika

In a small mixing bowl, stir spice rub into yogurt with oil and salt. Place drumsticks in a zip-top bag. Pour yogurt mixture over drumsticks, knead to cover all of the meat and place bag in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.

Drain chicken and cook over indirect heat on the grill for 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer, flipping the chicken with tongs halfway through. Sprinkle with paprika.
