To save time can you microwave chicken drumsticks before barbecue?

No, it is not recommended to microwave chicken drumsticks before barbecuing them. Microwaving chicken drumsticks can partially cook them, but they will not achieve the same level of doneness and flavor as when cooked on a barbecue. Additionally, microwaving chicken can create an uneven cooking temperature, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. To ensure safety, it is best to cook chicken drumsticks directly on the barbecue.
