Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
In shallow dish, stir together flour, paprika, pepper and salt to taste.
Brush drumsticks with melted butter; roll in flour mixture, coating well.
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until needed (up to 24 hours).
In heavy skillet, over medium-high heat, cook bacon until limp. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is softened and golden, stirring often. Drain off any accumulated fat. Add horseradish, oregano and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring for 1 minute, or until mixture is light mahogany colour and moist.
Stir in ketchup and stock. Bring to simmer, stirring constantly.
Transfer to bowl; reserve.
Place drumsticks on greased grill about 5 inches (12 cm) from heat. Cook over medium-hot coals (medium-high on gas-fired grill) for 20 minutes or until golden brown, turning often.
Raise grill or lower heat to medium. Baste with sauce. Cook, turning and basting 10 minutes longer or until meat is crisp and thickly coated with sauce and the internal temperature reaches 165ºF or 74ºC.
Helpful Tip
For those who like things ‘hot’; just add more cayenne pepper. MAKE IT ZESTIER! Usually dry mixture of herbs and spices, used to enhance flavour. rub onto chicken with your fingertips and brush pices lightly with oil. You can make your own rub by combining herbs, spices and a little mustard.
